I rarely have anything to complain about in your designs. This one is no exception.
I'd suggest styling the "Go" button for your search box perhaps - you might try a rounded rectangle like the search box itself. I think it would help make things look cohesive.
The "nu" in your header looks a little... crinkly? I can't tell if it's the style on the text or if it's the tiny drop-shadow effect but it's not quite as smooth as "Diana" or the umbrella.
Your design has a great amount of padding and contrast so I don't have a lot to harp on. Most people biff that completely so well done there.
Your links page might benefit from some spicing up but links pages are notoriously hard to spice up, so I don't have a ton of suggestions. Perhaps descriptions of each site? Or a tiny screenshot?
I find myself wishing that your tags had the same link treatment as the other links in your sidebar - a rounded-rectangle background on hover. They wouldn't have to alternate, but maybe using that slight darker beige (#EBE7E0) would give the right effect.
LOVE the favicon - totally perfect.
Overall, you've got a great site and a great design. Keep it up!
