A redesign: www.benjaminranck.com/newtemp/

Hi guys,
Well I've had some free time and redesigned my site
the newer version is at http://www.benjaminranck.com/newtemp/

the old version is still at http://www.benjaminranck.com

I'm going to swap it in soon, but I thought I should get some critiques before doing so.

Thanks,
W

My preference is making the text size smaller, but when I go to another page, it goes back to the larger size. Could you make it so that it remembers your text size?

I think I actually prefer the original.
I found the mouseover navigation thing that appears and disappears on the left of the screen quite distracting.

I'm probably going to get rid of the mouseover descriptions, it is annoying after a while, and something I definitely over-engineered. However the whole thing is a lot quicker to load as well as w3c compliant. If you have some more suggestions, please let me know.

Also I am planning on using some cookies (just to get some practice really) so I'll be looking at having an option to save the text size for you, maybe swap out the style sheet as well (too gimmicky?).

Thanks for the comments so far,
W
