Hi,

I had the same NN problem as everyone else - nothing below the <hr>. Above
the <hr> - the animated gif is cheesy and ridiculously fast on my machine.

I also tried it on Opera (anyone else using Opera?) and the whole page
showed up. The photo (you?) is very fuzzy and detracts from the page IMO.
Try to get a better quality scan. The 3 most prominent links are all to
other sites! Get rid of them, or if you *have* to keep them, make your own
stuff more prominent. The bg is *huge* - you really need to use something
smaller, even a plain flat blue (using bgcolor) would be fine.

Articles index: I suggest you use a bulletted list for the links - what
happens to the neat table layout when you want to add another one? And
caption the photograph, it's not visually appealing enough to be a design
element, and so should convey some information.

Lost in the Mall: You have &#9; at the beginning of the some of the
paragraphs (look at the source).

Next page: I doubt that anyone will want to contact you, without at least
a brief introduction to who you are and what you do! You need to rearrange
your content so that it makes more sense. Try to see it from the
perspective of someone who doesn't know you and has never visited your
site before. That should give you some idea of what needs changing.

Your site has a lot of potential because it has so much content. Your
biggest challenge is to organise it a logical way and create a navigation
system that will lead a visitor through it easily. Have a look at

I noticed that most of the page titles say things like "page8". You should
change these to reflect the actual page content: "My Family" for example.

Good luck.
