First and foremost Id have to say - throw a logo contest. throw up $250 for a decent logo, a vector one...I mean hey, this is Pandoras box were talkin here..if you put up a $250 prize your gonna get some decent entries and counts on here. The logo is barely visable and wont resize as it is. For lack of better words...it looks unprofessional. The logo is the "boom" and a starting point. base the design of the site with a two/three color vector logo. Your logo is the main problem imo.
Second- Black and baby blue with grey and red is a bit much...black is out long ago.
