Looks nice so far.
As Rich said, the search entry field is off the screen partway on the right, forcing a horizontal scroll bar to appear, and the button is hard up against the right side (Mozilla 1.6/linux).
I personally like Times New, etc. (serif fonts).
In hardcopy typography (analog reproduction or high-res enough digital to be indistinguishable to naked eyes), serif fonts are generally considered easier to read than sans-serif.
On low-res digital displays such as typical computer screen, YMMV, depending on what fonts end user has available. Serif fonts generally don't stay as nice-looking at the smaller end of the size range.
And, sans-serif can look really crappy/jaggy too, depending on what actual fonts user has available.
Use whatever most want, just bear in mind that we have little to no control over what fonts the end user will actually see and how good they will look.
