At the moment, all your elements seem to have the same weight. You need to develope a more obvious hierarchy of information. Try using a typeface with a large family (ie. light, roman, bold etc). In that way you can start differentiating the links from the body copy.

Also, dont have LINKS as a title. It is self explanitory.

Another thing. Don't try too hard to 'funk' things up with boarders and drop shadows. If you think your design needs more spice, have a look at the concept and information and see what potential they offer.

Hope that helps.
