Feel free to use symbols from my character set there. I'm sure many of them could be improved anyway though...

And another thing: Stretching the background-image? It's left-loaded on my monitor because the window's too wide for it. And remember that computer screens are only gonna get wider and wider 
I'm most likely going to make a tiled background to fill the space behind the corner decoration. In order to make that image large enough to not pixelate with scaling, the filesize is going to end up gigantic (as if it isn't already), so I think that will likely stay stationary, at least for now.

Really nice background and layout  Lots of graphics but still soft enough that it doesn't annoy visitors.
Some suggestions, if you don't mind:
- Title: Have you tried making it "pop in" instead of out? Just soften up the colors (light brown, like the leaves) and make the shadow inset. IMHO that would make it look more natural and unified.
- Navbar: A bit too faint, in my opinion. Expecially on some computers where the color change becomes too faint to be clear and just obvious enough to be annoying, like matching two colors that are just a tiny bit off from one another.
- Links: Blue's a bit too drastic of a change from the main site theme. Default colors and underlining also make it seem amateur; maybe make them brown, and a lighter brown on hover or something?
- Text: You're probably gonna change the font, so can I suggest font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif? I think it would look nice with the rest of the page. For colors, I'd suggest a dark brown or dark olive green. Keep headings darker than the rest of the text if you do that.
Just my own suggestions. You don't have to take them if you want, but some ideas if you want 
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll definitely try making it "pop in" and see how that looks. I'm constantly looking at new design ideas, and that one really interests me. As for the navigation, I've been meaning to lighten that shade for a while now, and I've just been forgetting. And honestly, I haven't touched text or link colors at all yet, mostly because I haven't really known what colors I should use, so thanks a lot for your color suggestions!

Sorry, I don't have quick access to a good pixel editor, but that should be a good one. Either that or make the last two lines 00011110-00000000. Again, sorry for the lack of image >.<
Edit: I'll be cool and put the hex here, too: 3F04CEB7C7310E1F (or 1E00 for the last two rows)

I did what I could with FinaleTI's font. Obviously the difficult ones are the ones like M and W that need the spacing to tell what they are :\ I also included some other characters, too. Do you want me to see if I can make an entire character set? Or at least as much as possible? (Btw, I did this using Photoshop which is a terrible pixel editor, so I didn't worry about spacing between the other punctuation chars that I threw in there. Sorry if that causes issues for you.) EDIT: Also, a while ago I made a fairly complete 3x4 font. I don't know if that would be at all useful to you. If so, I can dig it up and post it here. I also made a set of 3x3 numbers and capital letters, but that was just to challenge myself  EDIT #2: Here's a full 4x6 character set with no exclusions. Hope this helps.

More optimized :
...
.LOSING CODE
If Pxl-Test(X,Y+7)+Pxl-Test(X,Y-1)
Return
End
.END OF LOSING CODE
...
is + smaller than OR? I never even thought about that comparison...If so, then I may have some optimizing to do (I needed a LOT of conditions)
+ doesn't mean or remember.
However, here's my study:
Size of program with +: 723bytes
Size of program with or: 725 bytes
Size of program with two if blocks: 726 byes
I am aware that + doesn't mean or, but it works just fine for the purposes I have. I had always just assumed or was smaller. It's good to know that there are more optimizations to be done

I think it's getting to the point that we need a tutorials forums
I agree. There are quite a lot of explanatory threads out now, and I think I'd probably write a few more myself if I felt like there was a good place to put them without them sitting awkwardly amongst a heap of help topics.

Am I the only one who thinks this game and the flashing smiley are both health hazards to the epileptic? 
Nope, you're definitely not the only one

When you say 4x6, do you mean full 4x6 characters or 3x5 characters with a 1 pixel border on two sides? Because the screenshot you posted had 4x6 characters, but Xeda's character set is 3x5.

I have a friend who really would do that. He does metalworking xD He made his car look like the batmobile.
