    <description> &lt;p&gt;Yes, I suppose that is what I should do once my site is back up again.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description> &lt;p&gt;My sister is currently studying abroad in equador, so I may be making her a blog.  My friend does graphics for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.byond.com&quot; class=&quot;bb-url&quot;&gt;BYOND Gaming System&lt;/a&gt; , so I&#039;m going to be making him a site to sell them.  My neighbors homebrew for fun, and I designed them a logo, and I may do them a site.  I&#039;m also thinking about redesigning (for free) some one page sites for local businesses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ll be working on my portfolio, and thanks for the suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description> &lt;p&gt;I think you&#039;re right... you&#039;re background is too dark now.  I get a halloween feeling looking at it now. &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/wink.png&quot; title=&quot;Wink&quot; alt=&quot;Wink&quot; class=&quot;smiley-content&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Play around a bit with your colors until you find something you really like.&lt;br /&gt;
How about the reddish color you&#039;re using for your titles?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right now though I feel you need to concentrate on building a portfolio.  Not only will it give you sites to show off but it&#039;ll also give you more practice.  Make at least a half dozen designs for yourself or friends that revolve around different things (games, hobbies, blogs, weird things you can do with a spatula...).  It doesn&#039;t matter if they end up being &quot;real&quot; sites, but what you want is to play with expanding your designing abilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I agree with Temudzin... you &lt;strong&gt;have&lt;/strong&gt; evolved very quickly with your skills!&lt;br /&gt;
Keep having fun with it all! &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/big.png&quot; title=&quot;Laughing out loud&quot; alt=&quot;Laughing out loud&quot; class=&quot;smiley-content&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <description> &lt;p&gt;Karen, in response to too much orange, I have made the background a kind of brownish black.  I think it&#039;s a little too dark, so i&#039;ll continue to tweak.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description> &lt;p&gt;Thank you.  I wrote most of it, with some help from my mother, who is a wonderful writer.  She doesn&#039;t work any more, I wonder why she doesn&#039;t write a book!&lt;/p&gt;
