The 90's called and they want their HTML back.

I mean, yeah, but you're capable of constructive criticism.  

The color scheme is too primary-ish for me. It's also blocked out way too much. When I create sites, I like to make the elements incorporate into each other or complement each other somehow. Also, the moving icons at the top are unsophisticated, "homepage" should be capitalized because it's in a header and you don't need an exclamation point at the end of "here are my online publications." A colon would work better. You don't even need to say "here are." Just say "My online publications:" Hope that helps.

Haha, Tibs just walked himself to a tango. Yikes.

I don't know what that means.

Tibs is more of a code guy. And the HTML joke was good.

It hurts my aging eyes.

He's pretty good at site design too. I know the joke was good. Haha, he doesn't need defending from me.

With the design, some ideas:

1. Stick with 3-4 colors. Be aware of your color choices. Readability is key for a site that’s primarily text, so nothing that clashes, nothing that blends in with text

2. Animated GIFs are, frankly, amateurish, and not in a good way. It really does harken back to the mid-to-late 90s. Unless you’re being intentionally ironic/funny, don’t use them.

3. Without looking at your code, I’m guessing you’re using tables for layout. Don’t. Learn to use, at the very least, div tags with CSS styling.

4. Look at what modern sites do. There are a ton of examples online that should both inspire you and point you in a better direction design wise. In most cases, less is more. Simple elements, font choices, color choices, all arranged deftly. You don’t need to be a graphic designer to at least tidy things up and organize them in a way that makes sense while being readable.
