Not sure if I like the colourscheme. The muted greyish blue in the sidebar and title bar look pretty weird with the more saturated background.
I'm also thinking giving the content a fixed width might be useful? You've got a lot of huge horizontal whitespace, while vertically things are pretty close together, which seems unbalanced to me. Look for example at the main page of this website; the gutters are similar sizes vertically and horizontally, which makes the whole page look more unified, imo.
A better example of what I'm talking about is the BBC website:

Sure, it's certainly not going to win any awards for innovation, but it's a practical and straightforward design.
