Run on sentence
I didn't check the page, but is that really what it says? That sounds like something an 8 year old wrote.

Okay I guess a lot of people don't like it, so I am going to just use it as a prototype and get back to you guys.

It would help more if you told me a better way to say it though.

I have chosen the web as a medium to express my abilities and ideas. I believe that displaying my experience in this way will give my clients a real feel for the quality of service that they can expect.

The problem is that it's all generic stuff that no employer wants to read: a bunch of babble that boils down to "I need a job".

I guess I just want to have something more to show for my abilities other than a piece of paper. I'm not really a graphic design specialist or anything so I have trouble coming up with slick fancy graphics for my own sites, which is why they usually look blocky. I am much more code oriented and understand more about a site's structure and back-end.

I like the colours... you just have to check out better for some spell check stuff too.

This site was created using an web-based blogging application called WordPress. We tried using it at MapInfo for a porposed blog and I realized that it is a good platform to build just about any type of site on, not just blogs.
Patriot Flight 2008 (www.patriotflight2008.com)
This site was built as a voulenteer job.

That's just a couple I skimmed through. I suggest even as simple as a copy/paste of all the text in Word, then find the errors.
