All your opinions are awesome, really. The "duck" is really a phoenix. But since a few people interpret it as a duck, it tells me that I got to change it.

As for the picture, it was specifically changed to a more "power pose" style, more stern and confident, than my normal pictures. The site is really not to get sales. It's a portal site, and driving traffic away to other sites is what I'm most interested in, rather than trying to get people to stay.

(And yes, I'll be testing this...)
