Thanks Dave for your helpful advice. I didn't see it as an attack at
all. I am aware that my content needs improving. That's why I am
asking for honest feedback on my site. I am currently on Medical Leave
and can't spend a lot of time online, but when I start feeling better,
I am going to be completely redoing my site. That is why I am asking
for advice and feedback now. Thanks again Dave. Have a great weekend!
