Well, if ya want the Truth - here it is...
I have a pet peeve about sites with no font type set. The default font is just plain ugly. It's the easiest thing to do to class a site up a bit. The other thing is that you are linking to a bunch of sites that will NEVER link back to you. AL4A - Superchicken - Hun - etc.... it's a nice gesture but they don't need the 5 or 10 hits a day you will send them. Instead, use those spots to trade with a few other webmasters just starting out. This way you get back what you send.
As for the overall look of the site... not bad really, it is nice and clean. I would add a little text under the banners to tell your surfers how GREAT those sites are
That's my 2 cents.
