Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you have a free 10 minutes, could you 
possibly give my new site a run through.

http://208.55.225.128/test.shtml

I've been working on it for the past few weeks, and I'd consider it 
at a beta stage right now, a point where I can start to concentrate 
on the bugs and tighten up the coding. 

The problem I have (which I'm sure many of us suffer from), is that 
because I've been working so closely with it, I'm afraid there may be 
some obvious mistakes I'm overlooking.

I thought I'd stick my neck out and build it in XHTML, using CSSP. 
Such a revelation, no more wrestling with tables for layout, and 
despite some early mishaps, it seems to degrade quite well. 

Bear in mind, not all the content is there yet, I attribute this to 
the fact that I prefer writing code to prose *:) 

Thanks in advance.
