dunno wha tyou mean about the right menu bar so I wont comment on it (do you mean the nav bar at the top?)

I like the height of the banner.... keep it. the only thing I don't like it the top header text.... make it smaller, or even take it off.... that bar that overlaps the other box under it (the one with the text "temp layout design..."). looks okay otherwise... but I really don't like the footer for some reason.

I wouldn't add all those affiliate banners like that, they kill the template and your template is too small so the focus goes to them and not your site. Add them as text links, or have them on there own page but not on main.

I really like it but besides these points.

Its width is too small, make it 800 ish for now?
Dont like links on left, maybe a shoutbox?
Footer image is kinda out of place.

Besides taht it is good.

Footer does stick out its way too dark for me the affiliates def need to go id put a nav bar there if i were you or a shout even but becareful of the shout dont make it standout too much or it will detract from ur site like the affiliates..otherwise the overall scheme is nice and clean, i likes.

hum...thank you all for the critics. Didnt expect so much positive feddback from a n00b in this like me. :P

so things to change : the quick links/affiliates stand out to much - the fotter - and make it a little more big..and live the colour scheme.

Thanks you all so much :D
