Really clean looking site, the only thing I would add is your own status icons. The default ones are doing your skin no favours. Apart from that it looks sweet...

reduce some of the images and look to compress other files. 1.2 MB for your front page is a load...

most of that could easily be reduced by optimizing your .png images.

run it through a speed test and see what you get....I got 1.2 MB....

btw, I use this as a quick and easy way to lower graphic file size with a handy preview to see what the final product would be:

Took my site from nearly 600kB of page load to under 200kB
