Hello! Well, first I liked that you have pretty small buttons. Too often
people
get out of hand with the size of their buttons. I also liked the overall look
of the site.

I would not center all of the text. Perhaps center important text, but not all
of the text. 

Load time for all of the pages I went to were good.

I would have an alternative font to Comic Sans. Usually Arial and
Helvetica(for
Mac folks) are the best.

Considering the color of text and background you chose to use, I could read
the
text just fine.

On the 30 days of poetry page, the HWG logo, the EFF logo, the IE logo and the
other organization logo show up as broken links.

Are all of these pages supposed to work together(It seems like it)? If so, I
would go for a uniform approach to the look. I saw two other backgrounds on a
couple of the internal pages. I would make the graphical presentation uniform.

The navigation, etc are fine to me. Front Page added lots of &nbsp's that are
not needed.

Hope this little bit helps.
