Xmas period is usually slow, for obvious reasons.
The site design is very good, with the icons, and colour selection.
I have signed up just to have a look, as droople, you can delete if you wish.
I noticed your welcome email is from hostmonster, you might want to change that, to go with the site brand.
my favourite page http://passyourtorch.org/getting-started
Could access my account settings page, to change passwords or photos etc
Nice
Oh, I really like that getting started page. I may have to be inspired by that. ;)

Looking good
Nice color scheme & overall nice design. I like it. Two quick observations:
1) The main navigation links in the header do not turn into hand cursor when hovered over. This breaks a global web convention and might confuse newbies that links are not clickable. Of course a
cursor: pointer;declaration should solve this.2) There's a minimum width
min-width: 1200px;in your CSS's header declaration. This will of course break the layout for users with 1024 x 768 screen resolutions. I don't know if this is your intention, but you're eliminating a large group of users who are still using that resolution and in some countries and environments, they're a majority. The layout does not break by the way but an ugly horizontal scrollbar appears at the bottom making the website looks unprofessional.Other than that, everything looks fine.

Thank you all for the
Thank you all for the valuable feedback. I did some initial testing on the 1024X 768 resolution,I explicitly set
overflow: hidden;thinking that would cover any other cases, and the site seemed fine. No scrollbars were present, but apparently I missed something. I will change the minimum size, and thank you for bringing that to my attention. I am curious to know which browser and operating system that occurred in.-------------------------------------

Firefox 3.0.5 & IE7 on
Firefox 3.0.5 & IE7 on Windows XP. It looks exactly the same on both.
Pointing to links in the navigation bar still appears as default cursor not pointer cursor.
