Hi everyone: I apologize for sending this site critic too early, I definitely jumped the gun asking for a critic. I will be making a bunch of changes and make sure to validate all my code before I ask for a site critic in the future. Thank you so much to those of you who, very graciously, gave me some very useful comments and suggestions. If I offended anyone, please accept my apology.

You have a lot of inline javascipt: Your may want to take a look at Unobtrusive Javascript http://www.onlinetools.org/articles/unobtrusivejavascript/ Keeping your javascript in an external file will be more efficient and make it easier to maintain. Sierra Pacific Counties: This can be done in all CSS (AlistAPart has great examples).A CSS solution will be more search engine friendly and accessible. Nevada Industrial Parks sections: You can create this using headers and Paragraph tags instead of multiple <br > tags. This type of solution will be more semantically correct. <h2> <a href="industrialparks/index.htm">Nevada Industrial Parks</a></h2> <p>View a list of industrial parks within Nevada.</p> <h2><a href="taxes.htm">Nevada Taxes/Incentives</a><h2>> <p>The incentives of doing business in Nevada are expansive. Nevada boasts one of the most liberal tax structures in the nation and from a tax-planning perspective, the return on investment in the form of tax saving dollars can be enormous. Explore the numerous advantages of doing business in Nevada.</p> <h2><a href="documents/overview.pdf">Northern Nevada Overview</a></h2> ..... Contact Info Section: A similar solution of using headers would be good and more semantically correct. Also a definition list would be a good set of tags to use here for the pictures and associated information. <h2>CONTACT INFO</h2> <dl> <dt><a href="about.htm#sims"><img src="images/grant.gif" alt="Grant Sims" align="left" border="0" height="57" width="45">Grant Sims</a></dt> <dd>Manager<br> 775.834.5742<br> <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a></p> </dd> <dt><a href="about.htm#woodring"><img src="images/brad.gif" alt="Brad Woodring" align="right" border="0" height="57" width="48">Brad Woodring</a><dt> <dd>Executive<br> 775.834.3716<br> <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a></p> </dd> </dl> I will not go into the multiple h1 issue. Some believe that there should only be one H1 per page, like me, and the rest believe that it is OK! The specification sure does not help. My opinion is that there should only be one h1 per page, take it for what it is worth. =) Just some thoughts to get you going! Similar things can be said of the other site as well!
