Resume
I've been working on small websites for friends and relatives to try and build my skills and start a small portfolio. This is a web page that took me about a week (minus a few weeks being frustrated with not getting the nave bar to stay put). I'm pretty much done with it, though I may do a seperate contact page that doesn't have the enter button. (I needed to get the contact info out right away, and I need the page to go to the anchor top (long story))
Anyway, constructive criticism is welcome, and if you use a browser other than IE 6, I would appreciate screenshots as I cannot use any other browser (another long story).

I think you're doing a good job so far! Nice colors!
I do have to tell you something though and you're not going to like it.
In your div.sidebar code you're trying to mix position fixed and float. With position fixed you're "fixing" the box to a certain point on the browser window. You can specify where it lies with top or bottom and left or right measurements.
When you "float" an element you're telling the content to "flow around" the element you're floating. Mixing the two just doesn't work.
Use this for your code:
div.sidebar {position: fixed;
top: 240px;
right: 30px;
width: 200px;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: #0066FF;
color: #000066;
border-top: 2px solid #000066;
border-left: 2px solid #000066;
border-right: 2px solid #000066;
display: inline;
padding: 0;
}
That should move it to where you want it.
btw: Here's the screenshot of what I'm seeing in Safari
Bet you're really starting to get annoyed with me by now.
gotta finish redesigning my sites so I can show them again.

Urgh... I wonder wheter my real stylesheet isn't working, or if it's somehow picking up the IE styelsheet.
[EDIT]
Ok, check again. It should look better now.
.tk seems to be putting it in a frame or something, and the scroll bar gets under the menu. Anyone know a different (free) top level domain?

Yea! You got it fixed (at least for my browser).
Hmmm... top level... free... no frames.... bet you want no ads too huh?
I'm afraid I don't know any beasts like that.
.com really isn't all that expensive though.

It's not important enough to pay seven dollars, plus I assume (never bought a dot com before) there are some hassle involved in setting it up. (It's also not worth those hassles.)
I've still got a bit of fine tuning to do. I think it looks kinda amateur-ish. Anyone else think so?

Other then the header, and that navigation box it looks pretty good. I can't say it is professional but it is nice. The problem with the header is it is childish, I would make it a photo of a real plane. And the navigation box is just plain ugly

I kinda like my navigation. Different colors maybe?
I couldn't get a real picture of a plane that I could have just the plane. I would have had to go in and trace it by hand.

Yeah different colors might make it look better. It would take you 5 minutes to trace the plane, where's the effort! It's your portfolio, it needs to be awesome!

Are those navigation colors any better, Matt?

Well, I think you should go with a lighter blue to match your header, I still don't like the colors you have

It's ok but it could be better (can't everything?
)
I would lose the banner graphic. You could get some very nice and free stock photography from the stock exchange (http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml) that's usually where I go.
Also the floating navigation doesn't really add anything to the site.
