Hi Nate, Welcome to the list. Open critiques on this list are great - as long as feedback is helpful rather than abrasive. :)
Criticism or praise? How about some praise: I have only looked at the front page but I think it's an excellent example of a web standards based portal. The main page has a lot of content but it is all easy to access and digest. The layout is nice and fresh. The site is valid (xhtml and css) and makes excellent use of semantic code - nested lists for main nav. Even the additional content for non-css browsers is cool - the hidden <hr />'s to help break up the content and skip menus for text-based browsers and screen readers. It looks good in Lynx as well as most of the standards compliant browsers: http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aiga-atl.org http://www.browsercam.com/public.aspx?proj_id=49464 Minor, nit-picky criticisms: Print CSS has some bugs in Mac/IE5. Bumping up the default font size more than two sizes causes the page to start breaking badly. These are minor issues. I reckon it's an excellent site!
