- I suggest running it through the w3 validator (http://validator.w3.org/) and
  make sure that it meets the HTML 4.01 transitional specification. I'd also
  suggest getting rid of all font tags and using CSS for styling.

  Also, body text should have serifs for readability. ie: leave as default
  font or use a serif style.

- Perhaps some more spacing between the cells that separate the navigation and
  the content (they are right up against each other).

- Perhaps a little ad section which rotates through popular Linux apps and web
  sites (eg: Apache, Slashdot, Freshmeat, PHP, etc...). Since the web site is
  meant to be about PLUG, use the small 80x30 type ads (see
  http://jason.mindsocket.com.au for an example and source for a couple).

- On the news page, have the date first (LHS) in the title so they line up.

- There is no navigation item (or anything else) that links back to
  index.phtml.

- The logo is difficult to read.

Other than those things (which I'm sure will annoy you ;)) it's looking great.


Later,

Jason Nicholls
