    I'm new to this so don't be too harsh, but my site has been up a very short amount of time and wanted to see where I might make improvements. My goal is to offer solid, simple to access, meaningful information, and to be a resource.. Thanks!

    * too much space between the header and the first line of text on the home page

    * make a column on the right and move ads there for better visibility

    * may be it's just a personal preference, but I really don't like the hige green pipe below the header. Narrowing it down a few times may be not such a bad idea

    * add right margin

    * you can place Google search bar into the empty space in the header for better visibility

    What J.D. said plus...

    The font is too large. If people want it that big they'll aready have their screen adjusted for it.

    The header is boring. There's too much blank space on the right.

    Get rid of the 'comic sans ms'! that's just cheap & amateurish.

    Looks like a good site. Just reduce the font size and tighten up the layout a bit.

    I just changed the font and fixed my home page... Thanks much for the suggestions...
    I will work on the other things, but I probably won't have time until this weekend...
    I am very excited with my traffic this week though.... Sunday and Monday's traffic totaled almost 650 hits... I know that's small potatoes to you guys, but I just read the report and I'm thrilled... Any more suggestions would be appreciated

    I really like the site. Good job. The only thing is it loads a little slow.
