not bad. i like it.

some comments.

your links.
you have links at the top of the page and on the left hand side. they are redundant. some go to the same place. some on the left will go to a sub section of the ones on the right.

what i suggest.
get rid of the links on the left. put your main pages on the top. then inside each of the pages if they need more links put them in. maybe as another line of links below the top ones. but only for the pages that need them.

your graphics.
you did a good job with the banner at the top. maybe make the table background the same color as the background green. try make the banner feel like part of the site, not just a pretty banner.

cssedit is a great program that you can use to create/edit .css style sheet pages. maybe change the link's color and text to something more uniform across your site, to match the rest of your text?

keep up the work!

I like it, work on your style sheets though, the links on the left should be bolder and all the text should be in a Sans font.

Removing the top links helped. Personally I'd give the nav links on the left a little left-padding. And since they're obviously the navigation, I'd remove the underlines as well.

Please note, this is just my opinion and I'm sure somebody out there will dispute me on it.

i agree with tiktokk. maybe even do some image work for those links. they are your main links, make them look snazzy. just an idea.

i like what you have done so far.
