Looks quite good to me. I have just two comments:

- I think making the headings and hyperlinks blue may eventually cause blue
overdose.
- The navigation controls, i.e., the arrow and the house icon, should not have
bright blue borders. I recommend that the img elements have their border
attributes set to 0. In other words,

   <a accesskey="h" href="index.html">
     <img src="images/home.png" alt="Home">
   </a>

should be

   <a accesskey="h" href="index.html">
      <img border="0" src="images/home.png" alt="Home">
   </a>
