Semantically delicious, just the way I like it, the scheme is nice too. The background is a bit cartoon-ish though, but other than that, sex.
Haha yeah, I added the background as an afterthought, as my original theme was even worse. I liked the actual layout so I just tossed that idea in there.
I really don't like the font color choices for the article headers, they're a little too...neon if you dimmed the colors down a little bit it'd be easier, and pleasing, to read. I really have to admire your CSS and HTML skills though... you're insane are you going to code the other pages and make this your portfolio design?
