    I like the nav tabs, colors are nice, but need a rollover effect, even if it's just a color change.

    Banner Graphics: Too old of a style. Looks like cheap Photoshop filters merged with PowerPoint template graphics.

    Why do you have the site name twice at the top?

    Day Trip, Gourmet, Featured Homes... these are headings... they should be distinguished in some way, bold text would work great.

    Mini Features: pixel font looks bad, it's the only place you use it and it just doesn't fit the site.

    At the very bottom, the Eating Right section: Why is your letter spacing so wide and different from everything else?

    At the top, the "Click Here" with an arrow to subscribe is just tacky. Make a better banner for subscribing elsewhere in the site where the objective is obvious. A "click here" arrow as you've used just looks like an afterthought, or that you assume people are dumb.

    Oh, and above all: figure out how to write clean code. XHTML validator in Firefox returns 170 Warnings from divs in tables, to improper tables to no alt tags, etc. etc.

    Sorry to be so harsh but you've got some work to do.
