Hey everyone, I`ve gone ahead and spent sunday/monday rebuilding my site from scratch.

Check it out, let me know what you think. May be one or 2 dead links I need to get the kinks out of. Let me know if you have trouble viewing it on other browsers (i`m using firefox primarily)

Chris,
I took a look at your design...I like the design. very interesting color combination. There were only a few things that threw me off.
1. The blog page, doesn`t look the same as the front page, and when I clicked on the home page it took me to the blog`s index page, rather than they actual home page. I would have spent more time in developing the blog page to make everything look uniformed.

2. I looked at your code, and can I just ask you one thing? (you said you spend sunday and monday redesigning your site, so I`m assuming you`re a developer as well) Why do you have your CSS sheet on the top of the page? rather than creating an external CSS sheet and linking it back to the site?

If you`re claiming on your site that you do "Search Engine Optimization" doesn`t Search Engine Optimization mean "The less code the search engine has to parse through the better?" the way I look at it is, if the spider is trying to search for content and it has to parse through 1200 lines of CSS and javascripting, by the time it reaches the first <p></p> paragraph, it already skipped my site and on to the next.

3. You really don`t need the Onmouse Over command Javascript on top. If you use pure CSS you can achieve hovers, actives, and visited pages.

4. Element placement: I see too many "&nsbp" spaces and I see about 6 h1 [headers] without anything in them, if you don`t need them get rid of them, Chris, there`s lots of work to be done, especially if you`re going to be offering "SEO".

Also, Please fix these minor errors http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.guerrillared.com%2Findex.html
These are only on the Index HTML side this is the CSS side of your site:

Chris, I`m not trying to rip you a new one... I just want to help you get your site up to date, there will be other developers that will visit your site, and they might take it more personal and really let you have it...
Best wishes

I think you should have added a portfolio link on top of your site and now just the bottom, that`s most important.
