Several people have suggested it is visually
boring. Try making the <h1> a color that
contrasts with the blue navigation box.
Add a 1 pixel wide border in the same
contrasting color to the
b&w image.
Thanks for the comments folks. Consensus seems to be that I need to
work on my graphical design a bit. That much I knew, but not how to.
Your specific suggestions are helpful, thanks.
