This is what I currently have for a template for my not yet hosted / unfinished website:
Here
Suggestions, Comments; Good, Bad, etc......
When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself,
First as a dark demon,
As a demon it uses its power to reign death upon the land;
and then it dies.
However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero...

Let's start with your banner, it looks good to me, but it seems kind of plain in a way too. I mostly like that bottom part on it.
The lightning background for your content boxes is a no-no, it looks terrible. Use a darker color than the border of it (take the border's color, make it darker, then make a solid background color). A trick I love is that I'll fill the background with a grid pattern or something then make the content boxes have a 15% opaque white background so that the background of the webtemplate shows up as part of the content box, but it looks like it's a different pattern. I don't know why, that just appeals to me.
I don't think it will expand properly either. It'll need iframes or something if you wish to keep those lightning effects and then some coding to keep that lightning picture in place.
That's all for me.
No. Seriously. No.

My suggestion, a lot of you people try to do too much with your website design. Take a look at some simpler but good looking websites. They are simpler than what you're doing but they look better. Your design, with all that lightning and shit, looks like it's going haywire. Is it really practical? I'll find some sites later to showcase this point. Not saying you need to be a professional or anything, just use something that focuses on the content and not how the site looks because most of us visit websites for their content.

I think that template is great...except for one thing. That lightning makes the page look too busy. It distracts from the content. But other than that I like it.

I don't like it. It is obvious that the lightning has been streched for each box, and it is obvious how you made the cloud effect, which doesn't look all that good.
DO NOT try designing a website using a billion effects (Bevel, Difference clouds, change of Hue, etc.)
Keep it very simple. Simplicity is your friend. RESERVE those effects to one element in the page (such as the logo or symbol if you have one). This will draw attention to that one element and make more of a statement instead of making it a shocking mess.
Simplify it and make more use of color.
