This was my first go at using css, let me know what you think... Note that the links arent yet operational, just curious as to what you think from an aesthetic and usability perspective.

http://www.ecards.net.au

Consider moving the joke, quote and/or poem of the day up so it is visible without having to scroll down. That way when someone visits your site for the second time they instantly see something new.

It looks a bit empty on top, how about mixing the welcome text and the newest ecards? F.eks by framing the welcome text with ecards or placing them on both sides and bottom? That way you might even make room to bring the joke, quote and poem of the day up.

I would switch the "join our mailing list" and "how to send an ecard" boxes. That way "Free ecards" and "how to send an ecard" are side by side.

Have you checked how the site looks on a smaller screen? I´m not sure but I´m afraid one might have to scroll from side to side to see all the content.

Hi c3po, good points - thanks! I've implemented some of your suggestions: put the 'how to send an ecard' up the top for example. What do you think? It still seems to be missing something, cant quite put my finger on it.

You must be working on the site - none of your page links work.

The site feels "tilted" the way it sits off to the left - try centering your tables instead. If you use up more of the page and add some color as column background colors, this might give the site more graphical interest.

Consider darker tones on the word "Free" at the top of the page. On my monitor the yellow is almost invisible, and kind of hard on the eyes.

Try a bit more padding on the main content, the text runs a bit too close to the edge for your particular layout.

Also, the links to the eCards that do work are all to external sites. Unless you are getting affiliate income for this, consider keeping all of your cards internal to the site.

Hope some of this helps.
