I definitely like the new look of your page. No question. I am not a big fan of those dropdowns, though. Why do I have to click on the primary item to get the dropdown? It forces the user to make an additional click that is not really necessary. The good old mouseOver would do the job much better, I think. In particular as there is no choice: if I want to navigate your site I need the navigation items that are currently hidden. One other thing I noticed lately: most standards-based websites suddenly start to look the same. They've got this "A-List-Apart" look on them: centered, 800px wide, horizontal navigation at the top. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but the second you see that design style you know it was done by a fan of web standards. I wonder where this comes from? Sorry, this sounds like I am only complaining about your site. These were just two things that came to my mind. But in general I really like the new design. HTH.
