   I would love to have some feedback on this. I have taken one huge PHPnuke site I had for years and divded it up into 2 using WordPress. I have been working very avdily on learning WP and learning CSS, HTML, XHTML etc so it will validate CSS, HTML and CSS with no warnings or errors.

   Also, I have been wroking on the SEO side of it - Making titles and keywords different for every page, the main page title coming first followed by the Site's title..

   Now, I realize these sites have the same structure for now and they might actually look VERY plain (The colours are the difference besides the content)but as with a lot of sites, they are functional and always being developed.

   Any suggestions or pointers would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Erica

   Wow! you have so much information there! Definatlly alot of great content.

   My only suggestions are aeshetic ones. It's almost like there's too much whitespace, if that's possible. If you're not tied to having the number of articles in each category being present you might think about hard coding the links to the category pages into a menu. That would allow you to make some really pretty menus. I've been using this program (can't find where I originally downloaded it from so I've uploaded it to one of my sites) to build menus, but you could do those any number of ways.

   You could do the same sort of thing with the links if you wanted.

   It also looks like you're sticking to primarily 2 main colors, just me but I'd think about adding a couple more to add to the contrast. Interspercing red here and there might be nice.

   but as you implied, other than aesthetics I think its a really neat site.

   Thank you very much for your reply! I have been wanting to do something with the menus, so I will look into that menu link. That will be great :)

   I definatly want to add some more colour.. it does seem quite plain to me. I know exactly what you men by whitespeace.. there is nothing "breaking up" the white around. I have still got quite a few books and dvds to get copied over and awards (from the old site) AND THEN I think I will work on adding colour when I make sure I have the structure down good.

   One again, thank you very much for the reply. I appreciate all feedback on it! I know it is one thing for me to look at it.. but it is nice having an outside opinion and another set of eyes.
