Don't pay this idiot any mind. There are people who think it's cute to fill 
out forms and guestbooks in this manner. Your site is much improved from 
the first incarnation we saw. A few things:

You take a lot of real estate for the words "Specializing in web site and 
graphic design." I wouldn't use that much space for that. You may want to 
think of putting that right under your company name or a similar place. You 
will have more space to work with.

I like the placement of the counter. Now that counter doesn't take up any 
valuable space.

You may want to(as I believe Mr. Harding suggested) to have a sample 
site(not a client) that has various skills utilized that you possess since 
your portfolio is fairly small at the moment.

The sample.htm file has the title "banners." You may want to check out the 
titles of the rest of the pages and make them fit the content(I make this 
mistake all the time when I am working on something when using a basic 
template).

I would consider making your graphics sample page more organized. Use 
similar sized thumbnails and arrange the graphics in a more organized 
looking manner. It would look better and take less time to download
