I've always been first to admit that I'm handicapped in the visual design area. I've been trying to redesign my web site for a couple of years and each time I get started I get frustrated and give up. I've finally resigned myself to using a canned design from Open Source Templates.
At the same time I'm cleaning up some orphaned files and updating the .htaccess files with redirects that work. I guess I've neglected my web site long enough.
