Hi,
I like the design, 8/10.
I also love the rating icons.
The only issue I would suggest is a better logo, and prolly limit home page posts to 5-7. I dislike scrolling so much. Also it'd effect your page load times
With the large pictures, you will never make some money out of those pics. Making thumbs will people get pissed off because of the ads on the pichost.
A further disadvantage of the big pics is the slow loading times.
