Yep. It's broken on my computer at work too. The H1 text gets too big and breaks the header. I'll try to use fixed letter size and see how that works.

No, sorry: The page behind the link is broken when I minimize the picture,
and not broken when I maximize it - whatever that may mean ...
That's because of the headline text gets shown on several lines in the header and leads to a repeat of the "cell" in the header it's in. I would be fixed if I make the text a part of the picture though. I'll have to consider that.

A few comments though, the top of the shelf with the bottles is repeated below the picture and the parchment background, while attractive is a mite too dark for easy reading.

In short, pretty much was has been said before.

The repeating of the header has to be fixed. I'll try to lighten up the parchment a bit too.

1. Its really ugly. The graphics are too fussy and unnecessary. Simple is good, there is a reason google is the no1 search engine
"Smaken er som baken", as we use to say in Norway. I didn't particularly liked the old frontpage, and prefer the new one.

2. The backgrounds are too dark making the text harder to read and the fonts are too big. In design generally backgrounds behind text are frowned upon. People don't visit sites for graphics they visit for content. The text is the thing.
The parchment background might be too dark, I'll try to lighten that. You say the fonts are too big - to you mean the header now, or all the text? The frontpage is more of an introduction page than a content page.

Seriously the old page was easier to read and more functional. Please go back to it.
Ones the new one is "fixed", I can open up a poll. If the majority prefer the old one, it's easy to revert.

SGL.
