Cheers for the review MrYum, much appreciated. Colour schemes never have been my forte but I'll take on board the advice about making the images bigger next time - do you mean the full size pics or the thumbs or both?
Re the protected (I prefer the word 'private') whois, yes I'm aware that it's a little frowned upon. I dont have a company name or address to use, so it would have to be my real address and phone number. I'm reluctant to publicise that with the obvious problems that could create, so for now I'll take the knocks that come from having protected whois.

Yea, I think you'll find that most of the major lists have very similar rules. A few minor nuances here and there, but nothing overly dramatic...like requiring root domain links
Color schemes are tough sometimes. I've seen a few color tools online, but have never found one I really liked enough to recommend. Best advice is to try to keep your text and links in contrast to the bg color, without using colors that look harsh...if that makes any sense.
On the images, I was actually referring to both the thumbs and the full size. Again, yours are certainly within the acceptable range. But, by what I see in reviews...and what looks good...they are a little small.
As to the 'private' whois, that may cost you more than you think. I don't really know how many link sites are enforcing the rule now, but think it's pretty widespread. Frankly, this is probably the most significant change to the basic rules in the past several months.
