You might want to fix your typos and grammar. Having a big banner that screams "Introducing a wholce new set of desktops" doesn't look that great. Also, "Most likely published in this month" is not really the Queen's English
Other than that, nice colours and graphics. Keep up the good work!
Also, my personal belief would be to use tables only tabular data, not for design,,, breaking up the content and design into XHTML and CSS... the FUTURE!

Not sure I like the "We currently offer 20 themes for Mac OS X." line....what's this "we" stuff? You have no arrangement with those authors I am assuming. If you do I stand corrected.
- The desktops which are merely altered Apple desktops is a bit cheesy too. You have photoshop, skill and ambition...come up with something original. Altering existing desktops is something one does for oneself not for redistributing as a website's content.
Colorizing icons is a bit different and somewhat more valid.
- Learn about leading and kerning
- If it doesn't fit, you must edit
P.S. I update pretty often so check back later!
I also think if we had a sub forum like this people could post their site on here with out the fear of people thinking its a shameless plug. An internet forum is a really good way to get constructive criticism that a website needs.
Now that thats out of the way, about your site.
The nav bar and such looks really well done, it sort of throws off the gray boxes you have at the bottom. First I would try changing the font sizes. As of right now I am not quite sure what it is thats throwing it off but I will see if I can come up with some other suggestions..
Good luck.
EDIT: Also at the bottom change "Sugestions? Comments? Broken Link?" to something more like, "Suggestions, Comments, or Broken Link?" All of those question marks in a row look funny. And of course suggestions is spelled wrong
I would like to have a counter on my site, anyone know if there is a good service out there? I tried bravenet, but there is a little pic screaming "BRAVENET SERVICE"! Anything with just a simple, old counter? With different themes? Thanks.
Here's part of a script I've used before:
<!-- php buffer start --><code><span style="color: #000000">

<br /> </span><span style="color: #FF8000">//increment counter
<br /> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$data </span><span style="color: #007700">= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">file</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">"hit_counter.txt"</span><span style="color: #007700">);

<br /> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">fwrite</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$pointer</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$views</span><span style="color: #007700">);
<br /> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">fclose</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$pointer</span><span style="color: #007700">);

We tend to be jaded and think this is all a breeze now but I forget it's still new to a great many people....
Good Luck,

RapidWeaver 2.1
I've never heard of it. It sounds like we've got a case for some good ol' fashioned raw-code preaching!
edit: After doing some quick Googling, I found RapidWeaver. It looks like a nice app, but there's no real substitute for valid, hand-optimized code IMNSHO.

Do you have PHP and MYSQL installed on your server? If you do PM me. I will wip one up really quick for you.
Nope, at least I don't think so. I have an iDisk as my server. How could I get PHP and/or MYSQL installed on my iDisk?

Nope, you can not. I wish you could.
