The right-side panel is WAY too prominent. It takes nearly an entire 
third of the horizontal space, leaving the main content much to squished.

The upper part of the left-side panel has far too much wasted vertical 
space. The main links don't even start until almost halfway down the 
first "screen" (ie, before you start scrolling).

Also, the search box suffers from invisible text syndrome. I think you 
set its background color to white while forgetting to set the foreground 
text color. CSS and UI designers tend to forget that not everyone uses a 
"dark-on-light" system color scheme. (for some of us, "dark-on-light" 
hurts our eyes)
