That looks a heck of a lot better. I want to do a better logo/header for my site but don't have the time to do it.

Um, I hate to be so rude after what everyone's already said, but I'll sum up what I have to say (and I'll note in advance that many of them have probably already been noted):
- Two navigation bars never works well for a website (unless you have footer info or blogmarks, but obviously you don't). Make one, well-formed navigation bar. While you're at it, take out "Menu"... one test of good web design is that your visitors should be able to instantly tell the functions of every element of the site without "helper" information, which that Menu image falls under.
- I realize art is subjective, but personally the menu buttons say "bad Photoshop job" to me. There are way too many colors going on there (color schemes, in general, should constitute 2-3 colors, including the entire website itself), the glow effect is over done, and there's a bit of inconsistency in that the top-row buttons change text color on rollover, but the sidebar ones don't.
- The blinking eyes A) don't serve a purpose (superfluous elements = no no in web design), and B) don't even match the general style of the rest of the site's theme. Ditch 'em.
- You have a 2-3 pixel divider between posts, but you also have a 2-3 pixel divider to indicate the bottom of the iframe, and both are solid and white. Confusing.
- And of course, XHTML/CSS would be cool, but I realize you're not up to that level of coding yet (and that's not even touching on semantics yet, by golly!), so I'll leave that be.
- The streaky things coming out to touch the top buttons are kinda cool, but they're poorly rendered and rather superfluous.

"The website of me" ?
Surely you can think of a better title than that, both imaginatively and grammatically.
