Layout isn't bad at all, there's only three real things I can pick at from a designer standpoint. 1. the contrast between the red "regex' and the background is way too low. Consider lightening/darkening either that bit of the title or the background to make it pop a bit better from the background. Low contrast text can make viewers uncomfortable, even if it's the title 2. at the bottom of each page you have alternate links (same as the ones in the main navigation) is a Next up:, Please... Make it bigger.. make it bold. I didn't even know it was there until I really started searching. It's nice to have those at the bottom but make more of an effort to make them stand out then just making the link blue. This gives your user more of a visual cue that "yes.. there actually is something different than just body text down here!" 3. I clicked on site home under the little pixel portait.. and I got lost. The only way I could find my way back to the regex part of the site was by hitting the back button or searching under the computing header. The moral of the story is that programmers have short attention spans, we won't work very hard to find information. If we go to a site for help on something, like regex, and we somehow get lost on that site... we leave.. fast. A lot of people haven't got the patience or time to try and figure out what the heck is going on. You've got some really great info on your site, just don't let your users get lost! I've worked with Regex quite extensively, I love using them because they make things so nice and simple in my php. I can't really tell you if it's good for a beginner or not (regex aren't exactly for beginners anyhow)

wow.. I really like this! My only suggestion would be to use an @fontface for the title to demand a bit more attention to it, right now it looks like the same font as everything else and I don't think you're giving the title the attention it rightly deserves. Check out http://www.google.com/webfonts google webfonts and type the word "Alice" into the search box. I think this font would be PERFECT for your header.

My suggestion would be to firstly make your "Viral EH!" heading larger and the subtext beneath smaller, right now the size is very similar, even with the difference in font weights I can feel the two headings fighting for dominance. Change your black text to white where it reads "newest videos," the contrast between your background and the text itself is far too low, this makes legibility a problem. Other than all of that I'd say make sure everything is lined up nice and straight. As for the background.. that's a lot of plain ol' boring grey! why not add a slick texture that's around the same value of grey like this one http://ethenyl.deviantart.com/art/Black-Texture-100608349 offered for free from ethenyl on Deviant art or check out lostandtaken.com!?
