Great ideas guys! I just added my own custom stylesheet to the site and it's working pretty good.

I photoshopped a background earlier this week and am working on getting a few more things done.

There is one problemo though, I have a class in my style sheet that isn't recognizing border-radius or even adjustments to right-left-top-bottom proportions. I can't seem to figure it out, if you look on my page you'll see what i'm talking about in the "about" section.

You call your class .about-me in the style sheet, but in the html it is referred to as "paragraph about-me".

Another thing:

A portfolio is usually some kind of presentation of the work you have created. You call yourself Web Designer on your home page, but below that are things that you are interested in, I guess, but you surely haven't created them. I would display e.g. small images of the index page of sites you have made, with links to those sites, so that the visitors to your portfolio can open the sites and take a look.
If the portfolio is to be part of your assessment at the course you are taking, you should do it right and not present other people's work.

One problem Inger..

I don't save my websites!!

the Craig Judd one was the only one I really saved. The far east expansion is gone, my other websites were wiped a couple months ago..

But you still have Off the wall, haven't you? And you could still create one or two, couldn't you? ;)
I can't promise anything, but I may have copies of some of the sites I helped you with last year. I'll have a look when I get home, that is after November 11th.

That would be awesome Inger!!

Please try that, my HD has had some problems over the years and has been reformatted without backups several times.

You need to put the contents back then. When I had a look, the about page was as good as empty. We can't help without seeing the code, as you know.

Oh, BTW, I found one of your older sites on my old machine here. It's the one with the pirate ship, only the first page, though. I'll wrap it up and mail it to you.
