Karen,

Did you spend the last 10 weeks learning Dreamweaver?

This site looks as though it has been churned out by a WYSIWYG editor right 
down to the multiple <BR> tags found throughout the document.  If you're 
serious about writing web pages, try and keep to what the tags are meant 
for.

That said, the site looks quite friendly, and is not bad for a first effort. 
  I would stay away from using italics on your links, as they stand out 
enough as it is...

Comic Sans MS is quite a friendly font, and is in theme with the rest of 
your site.  The graphic links are nice and colourful, but some of the 
rollovers shift the text around a bit, so take a closer look at that.

There seems to be a lot of information on this site, but I reckon there 
could be a better way of serving it up.

I urge you to learn to write HTML by hand as it gives you a better 
understanding of the rubbish these WYSIWYG editors churn out.  I wouldn't 
like to think how much shorter your page would be if you hadn't used 
Dreamweaver.

Regards,

David Grant
