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.

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

Are those navigation colors any better, Matt?

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!

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.

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

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?

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.

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?

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.
