Quick design alterations I would make:
 
• Top right nav <a> color -> #FFF
• "Desperate Houses [this text]" colour -> lighter yellow.
• The "Read more +" buttons are slightly odd, shading on the top is confusing.
 
Actually won't list them, just take a look at your contrast in general. Your colour scheme is friendly and distinctive, just not implemented very well.
 
Also
http://desperatehouses.co.uk/news/category/child-care - your heading id has crazy characters in it, so it isn't being selected, take a look at the template for that one, could be char enc.
 
Just a tiny (tiny) point, the hover state for the top right navigation is on the <li>, instead of the <a>, and your <li> is bigger than the <a>, leaves a deadzone of about 6px under the links.

If you manage to pull off such a simple design for a site with as much information on as a gamer site then nice one! I'd say it looks pretty fresh and easy on the eye if maybe a little 'un-exciting'.
