What you need to concentrate on is getting a design your going to stick with. If you keep changing constantly like you are doing your site isn't going to gain an identity and suffer for it.

Spend a month with nothing more than a pencil and pad, designing the looks and works before you even think of coding it. You've got to think how it might need adding to in future and incorporate this requirement into the design.

Your never going to get magazine reviews for a site that might well have changed since it was submitted and actually reviewed. Get something that is stable first and don't try to run before you can walk.
