The content is there. It is well organized. Dump the Javascript and put in some
PHP3 and CGI for the things you want to do. Compress the graphics radically and
reduce their size. You have done a good job of condensing information, so follow
with condensed graphics. For example, the Apache ad could be smaller without
materially affecting the quality of your page.
The width is incredible. I have a 1024x768 screen, barely on the edge of
readability with the fonts I use and the proper eye distance of 50 cm, and I have
to scroll sideways to see all of it. If that is to be your selected width, the
sidebar on the left might conceivably be backgrounded in a different color so that
people have more comfort centering on the text.
You are definitely not in the "Terrible Page" category, but you could easily move
up to the "Great" with some work on the graphics, the width, the load speed, the
last being the most critical, since surfers have short attention spans.
