For a week or so I've been writing some articles on Latvian postal history (http://philately.lettonica.info/postal_history/) and Latvian thematical philately (http://philately.lettonica.info/thematical_topical/) using the WordPress blogging software.

I'm looking for some feedback on the layout and perhaps what kind of improvements I could add.

Why did you feel the need to remove any mention that you were using WP to power your site. I know you changed it around quite a bit, but I would still feel obligated to mention them.

I'm not real set on the dotted borders for your drop down menus. It almost looks like your borders make the submenu a shade wider than the main menu from where the sub menu drops.

It would be good to center your layout too.

Well, I'm not quite finished with the hack since I'm having some troubles with the page navigation plugin (next/previous article) and also I'm contemplating on how to structure the archives since there really is no structured way to see the number of articles I've wrote.
I'm going to give Wordpress due credit. Meanwhile they are mentioned in the META data, which is also what the WordPress team is looking for when spidering the web.

They are a shade wider since the text tends to get a bit longer that the category headers. BTW... I'm restructuring the categories to have their own subdomains.

Now, that I am working on since I discovered how to position the menu bar.
