the power of sixteen by sixteen icons

So, kisrael.com has a minor facelift. (You can see a snapshot of the old frontpage here.) It started as a slight structural page, trying to make "features" just the very most interesting parts, so people are more likely to click on the good stuff, and so Dylan's sidebar was moved up a bit. Then I decided...icons! I needed icons. Cute little 16x16 icons. I liked the old utilitarian feel of the text only links, but now each one has its own visual hook.

Please give me some feedback...I know not all the icons are stellar, but some of 'em came out pretty well I think.
