My site,
http://php.xsdev.org/ ,is begging to be tested for usability. It has just recently been started and I want to know what can be done to make it better in the sense of usability. Thank you guys in advance.

Overall pretty nice, I think. I would increase the font size a tad. Bigger font = greater readability = good.

You get 10 points right off the bat because I am able to increase the font on your site with my browser. Believe it or not, the way some people build sites disables the ability to increase font size.
I realize you asked about usability, but I think validation is relevant anyway:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1 ... dev.org%2F
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/vali ... dev.org%2F
Is there a reason you chose XHTML 1.0 strict?
What's the deal with the iframe (it may be a scrollable div) in the upper right-hand corner??

Seems completely unnecessary. Disable the scrolling... that is strange (unless I'm missing something).
Here are some Accessibility tests you can use:

And a speed report:

Your site is still navigable w/out css and images which is nice. Looks pretty good to me.
