Help critiquing first site.

[coop]

Hi everyone.

I am sorry because I actually posted this once before in an earlier thread, but my site has changed since then and I wanted to get a fresh set of comments. If someone has a problem, please feel free to merge with my old thread, it was about a week or two ago.

Anyway, this is my first site (well, 2nd, I guess, as this is slight redesign of what was my real first site. Like I said in my previous post, I just recently started learning HTML and CSS and this is my first foray into that realm. Any constructive criticism is very much appreciated.

Thank you all very much.

my site is www.coopercrosby.com.
for the sake of comparison, you can see what the previous version of my site looked like at www.coopercrosby.com/oldsite.html.

I would make the text darker, or the background lighter. At the moment it is a slight strain to read the text.

Also would be neat to add links to things you can do to show some examples. My first instinct was to click on them and I was bummed for not seeing pictures of you playing soccer.

My favorite picture is the "not me" one lol

I like the quirkyness(sp?) of the site. I think a site thats going that route should have some more color in it, not so drab as it LOOKS like it should be fun.

text needs more contrast, and be LARGER

fully justified text is hard on the web - too many rivers (spaces flowing between the words)

otherwise i reall like it

One thing I had to look for is your navigation, because it's so small it gets a bit lost at the top.

Apart from that though I really like it, it's a nice site!
