Overall I like the layout of your site. A couple of things I would have done different:

1. Used a slightly more readable font - on my screen the white against black looks very bright and difficult to read.
2. Would have preferred to have seen the images that appear upon clicking the thumbnails to have been larger.

Other than that not bad for a DIY job :-) - I am assuming when you said you created it yourself you meant not hired someone!!!
