Other than Brad's suggestion about the "Show All" link, I'm missing the logo on the top and a little menu too.
1) About the logo
Most people usually leave a link, for example, on youtube, to their video so people can download or check some more detailed info. For those new to a-m-v.org, they will think that's probably my blog. It's cool to have a clean video profile page, but you're also losing the identity of a-m-v.org. For example facebook, everyone has their own profile page but the top stays always the same.
Then again, I have no idea if this won't be implemented later, so sorry for that![]()
2) About the menu
It's very unusual for a website to have the menu at the bottom and studies show that most people will look for a menu on the top or on the right, because the human eye reads in a form of a Z. Only secondary links should be at the bottom, because people are lazy to use the scroll. And seriously, how many times do you have to explain to someone where a link is when it's right in front of them? So my guess is, some people would take a long time to figure out where is what.
These two things can be really discrete, and also greyish. Like, again, facebook with the blue color.

One other thing is that the content body looks a little.?? unformed. There's not much direction or visual hierarchy.
