First impressions - looks good

maybe a little to narrow thou, and the links are very small.

In IE you have a blue pattern around the sections, in Netscape4.7 its just grey. there is also a gap between the word 'links' and the actual links.

It looks a little weird how you have big margins on the side but none at top or bottom, maybe make the top margin a gap as well

good luck on the job hunting

Very nice, but I agree with Busy that the links are very small indeed and quite hard to read. It is very narrow but I don't think that's a bad thing. I like the background change facility Wink

Yeah, what she said.

No, really, I've got a few of my own thoughts here. I feel that the logo is a little too crammed in up there at the top - I would make it just a little bit higher. I like that swirly background you have around the content area - would like to see just a little bit more of that. Okay, but there's too much on the resume page..

What are the stoplight buttons on the headers there for? I thought that they should do something.

Overall impression is pretty good. I too think the links are a bit too small but it would be difficult to change them with altering the structure of your whole site. Otherwise things look fine.

The only major suggestion is in your coding. I personally prefer this style in PHP:
echo "\n";
echo "\n";
echo "\n";

to this one:
echo ">";

It just makes it easier to see your html code since the tags on on different lines. The other thing that you should do is to use your stylesheet to eliminate some of those font tags. For instance, you have this:

First lose the center tag and use the instead. Then create a class in your stylesheets like this:

TD.spec { font-family:verdana, helvetica, arial, geneva, lucida, sans-serif; color:#000000; font-size:8pt}

Then call the class like so:
echo "\n";

This way you can eliminate all of your font tags. Another thing to do is to try using px instead of pt in your stylesheets. It may give a more desirable look and give you just the size that you are looking for.

Another wise pretty nice site.

Wow ... thank you guys, Mairving, I know what you mean. But CSS doesn't work with Netscape and I don't want my site to look uglier than it already is in IE Smiling
But I'll see what I can change tho ... again, thanks guys.
