Site layout changes
I've just noticed that the news bytes section has changed.
It certainly looks less out of place than it did before, but IMO - for what little that may be worth - the two grey lines don't do enough to denote the fact that this represents a section rather than yet another headline. Anybody scanning the page may well not even notice them. A grey background would be better, and possibly vary the font colour too.
I'd also wonder why you're putting the entry for the news bytes on the second row as opposed to the first if it's supposed to be one of the first things the user sees and uses?
You seem to still be stuck on following the colour idea that Microsoft started a few years ago. The problem with that is that even they recognise it was a mistake and have been moving away from it. And the less said about uppercase-only menu text the better.
