its pretty good...I know that we all work hard on our own sites and

sometimes we all look at them too long to and we just need a little advice

on what works...hell..I do that all the time. Its clean and easy to

navagate.  I didnt have any problems trying to figure out what goes where.

your text justifications were fine, and the basic design was consistant. you

used your negative space well...the only nit-picking I have:


1.I feel your profile is a bit much...well...thats just my opinion.  I'm

still trying to get off the habbit of getting online just to grab my info

and go rather than relax and fave fun with what I'mlooking at.  I felt that

it was a bit much to read....maybe one approach would be to trim the text

down to a few paragraphs...with my expereince (CD ROM  and web based

training) most people...but not all... tend to read the first few paragraphs

and then skim over the remain few.  If you read any news article in just

about any news paper...especially the New York Times, you can get the basics

of the story by reading the beginning paragraph (also known as the opening

paragraph)...but I'm sure you know all this.  I'm not slamming you work or

anything...just trying to give my 2 cents without being a Butt-head.  Again,

its just my opinion...


2.  the only other thing I might question is the button for the printible

resume...maybe you should place it in the same spot as your photo...just to

keep things consistant.  also, the dotted line that branches off to the

printible resume is set at a diagonal...not verticle like you have with your

image on your profile page.  


...Sorry..I'm a typical Virgo..always looking for perfection...so dont mind

me.  But other than those two points I made...everything else looks really

good.  Granted, its your site and you have total control over what you want

and need to do.  But maybe you can look into the 2 points stated above.

Great Job!
