Some more colour, a less light blue. A non serif font  because a 
computer screen renders badly. Left navigation is blue on light blue 
which is hard to read. I dislike the light blue. External links clearly 
separated from internal links. The old design was more structured 
through the blue background of the headlines. Modern people unlike me 
want small text blocks. Not necessary less text but visually separated 
so people believe its small bits of text.

That said, I think a professional should look into fonts and colours. I 
definitely am not qualified.

Sorry for German politeness :-))
