+1 ... contrast .. is just way too ouch ...
Apart from that ... it looks slightly dated I'm sorry to say ...
Believe it or not I'm with you on the colours. I was given a template constructed with tables to start with and commited some grevious offences with colours in the first incarnation. The boss liked it though, so it while I toned it down a bit (I know that's hard to believe but it's true!) the overall effect had to remain the same when I reconstructed the site.
I am interested in the 'dated' comment. Is there anything in particular or is it the feel of the site as a whole?
What would you do to 'update' it?

Its nice clear and clean (ish). It will serve its purpose well.
Where did you get that plugin for the bookmarks?

AddThis - #1 Social Bookmarking Sharing Button - Del.icio.us Digg Facebook Widget is the plugin.
It's nice in that it gives stats, but it seems to slow down the pageload noticeably because it's referencing a busy site... it came up high in my google search for social bookmarking gizmos.
I needed it in a hurry. I'll stick with it for a while and then look at finding other options if I need to.

Ok, so basically if I use the browser that you want me to use I can see something on your site?

I use ff. But it doesn't show up in ff. That's fine though because it's only a little bit of humour. It's not crucial that it shows up. Do remember that I've only been doing this for less than a year and am completely self taught! Give me constructive criticism... help me learn. I've already explained that the colours are out of my control now... give me something I can work with!

Control will be back with you...
Either they value your input or they are looking for a trained monkey
Give them some guides on accessibility of websites ...
You could space the text at the top bit better (the date, advice center button) it overlaps lines, in Firefox anyway. Also maybe if you just toned down the background and left the rest it would be easier on the eyes, the wider the screen resolution the more that green background becomes distracting. And the light green headers are hard on the eyes against the white, maybe darken them bit more.

Some clients are just impossible to deal with.
They never listen and you are wasting your time trying to explain.
They stick something together in Word and wonder why you can't put that up on the web for them Ahhhhhh
And I happen to be married to this client. . . Maybe I can do it subtly over time. Thanks for the spacing suggestion. I hadn't noticed the overlap. I'll sort that tomorrow I think. And I think I may get away with toning down the headers. We are not on high res monitors, but I can see how that would be a problem. hmm. I'll work on it.
