I have many sites, and I work through them one by one trying to improve them.
http://www.ratemybrain.com is one I made last year. It's meant to be fun and light-hearted. I did all the design and content myself, including the quizzes.
One bug is that the tests won't give results in Opera.
Apart from that it needs something more fun and appealing..what though?

Its a good site - you just need to work on the graphics/design.
Play around with layout, colours.
What I do a lot when i want to do a new page is to design the entire layout in something like Friworks. Then when i'm happy with the layout, colour-coding, etc. i begin constructing it in Dreamweaver.
Give it a try - with the tools you get in a program like fireworks or another one similar, you'll find tons of layout ideas coming to you.

Do you mean remove the buttons altogether? What do you think is the best way to link to other pages?

I agree... The content and idea is excellent, but the design is too basic.. Need to improve the design and layout.. I would agree on using dreamweaver, it is a great designing product..

Good luck :)

Sometimes simple is good... but this site may be a design too simple. Also, I'd optimise the image sizes.

good content. I would keep it simple take a look at some bloggs. See if you can even use some blogg code on your site and just post your content using some of those programs.

Good luck :)
