This is a really well-laid-out site. I saw a kid using it at school today. Note the use of many small, readable columns, like MSN and all the major portals use.

Justin-
It’s ok, but not as good as this site. The amount of information on the first page is good, but the far left and far right sides are going to waste; nothing’s happening. Your site has a much better layout, and the fonts and colors are easier on the eye–much more interesting.
Here are some links to favorite sites of a major design guru, Edward Tufte: http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00001O&topic_id=1&topic=Ask%20E%2eT%2e
I especially like how there are so many different links designed to catch your attention. I had to follow up on the link about a pig that started the War of 1857. (luckily the pig was the only casualty)
And then there’s the story of the curious people trying to answer the question “what sound does a piano make when dropped from a helecopter?”
A great site.
Oh, cool - I’ve been to the island where that happened. There’s a “Pig Park” there, I think. It’s in the San Juans. You can see my photos at:
