I'm still having a lot of trouble with your server. I got the home page
displayed, then got nothing but timeouts. Why don't you get your own
domain name and move to a nice, reliable Unix server? ;)
The graphics are still cheesy and don't look good together. What does
that disco ball in the top left corner have to do with networking or
CAD? And I can tell from the graphic name that the triangle thingy on
the far right is some autoCAD diagram, but it is too small to make out
any detail so it just looks like a blue pyramid, so... what does a
pyramid have to do with networking or CAD? I don't like the bright blue
text, either.
The copy on the home page is better than your first attempt, at least it
says something meaningful about who you are and what you do, but I
suggest not writing it all in paragraph form. People looking for
information on the web scan text rather than read it. They need
something to focus on. Consider something like:
heading (i.e. "What I do")
<a line or two intro>
* bullet list
* of services
* using primarily
* SE keywords
It will help draw the eye to your important stuff, be easier to read on
screen, and search engines will like it, too.
The code is better than your first attempt, too, but still has a lot of
cruft in it, like mixed CSS and HTML style attributes (ishy <font>
stuff) and excessive rollover junk (which should be done in CSS anyway).
You need to use an external stylesheet, not embed <style> rules on
every page, nor have a bunch of inline styles. There is much code
cleanup yet to do.
You must also make FrontPage stop absolutely positioning every element
on the page. It causes overlapping text, among other things. Better
yet, dump FP altogether, or at least disable every attempt it makes to
"help" you code. It does a horrible job.

Not as scathing as the first critique, but you you still have a ways to
go, methinks.

Now,.. some meat that I need,... I like this review.
I didn't know about the excessive code FrontPage writes.
I like your idea on the bullets instead of paragraphing.
The others,... I will take another poke at it.
Trust kchayka,................ I want to go Linux but been indoctrinated
sooooo much into Microsoft that when I tried to make a server I just got
lost. (Suse and Redhat!!)
Thanks for your review.
