I was looking to redesign my weby and started fooling around until I ended up with this. My main worry is that everything is too small, but I do really like the minimalism in it... Think its ok or should I beef it up.

I'm a real fan of minimalism so I think it looks great.  I think the bright green to highlight things works well against the more subtle backdrop.  I like things calm rather than loud and in your face so thumbs up from me.

If there was anything that I would suggest it would be to try a slightly lighter/brighter shade of the olive green for the small general text, or a slightly darker background colour, just to pick up the contrast a bit.  If it doesn't work as well as the current colour then its cool, but worth a go.

i love the design.it's really simple and the colors are great. good job.

Looks decent.. Maybe you can use some more variation in type colors. That would make it very interesting and dynamic. Throw in a bright orange here and there for important stuff.. and you've got a great color scheme.  I think the readable areas could be a bit wider too.. maybe 500ish?

It makes me happy that you know how to code properly in addition to the design part !!! Don't forget doctype etc... not sure if you forgot or if you just didn't put it on since it's still a WIP.

its a bit confusing if there's more filled content i think. and i think its a bit to small.
also the scanlines, and the other pattern over that is putting me off.
oh and try and stay away from Tables.

im with lawlhalla here

I don't see a problem with tables if it's going to be that simple.

tables are ment for data, not for menu's. it's as simple as that.

nice

I used tables for the menu because it was set up in a grid pattern, then used css to force the menu items into place. Should I have done it totally css positioning?

that'd be best yes.
its not THAT wrong.
but forcing tables from the internet is my #2 goal in life.

I know what you mean.. but CSS positioning is so fucked in IE..

css positioning isnt fucked.
IE is fucked.

just make 2 stylesheets with both different positionings.
or work around the box and margin problems.

All website's need to follow a grid, my only main issue is where the images show?!?

It's kinda small too, but the idea is nice.

I guess that was my point.. it's less work to make only one style sheet and use tables, and it displays the same if you know what to do. XD
