Ok, I get your point, though i can't help thinking you really don't need
to be so rude about it.

I am considering a redesign of the site and I'll take this onboard.

Good. I assume that you hope that people will come to your web site
regularly,
but in its present form I find it quite repellent.

The biggest problems with it are that you try to carry all your baggage
with
you, all the time, and you do not appear to have made any effort to sort
it
logically.

I would suggest that the home page should carry a statement of what you
are
trying to achieve on the site, together with a small number of links to
subsidiary pages for each major topic. These again should contain a
statement
of purpose, together with links to pages covering particular aspects of
the
topic. If you must carry advertisements, these should be placed so they
do not
distract from the main topic of the page, and a particular page should
only
carry advertisements relative to the subject of the page.

I would also suggest that you ask yourself what you really want to cover
on your
site, and concentrate on those subjects.

You may like to have a look at http://www.cybec.com.au/, where I have
tried to
put these principles into practice. Some of my holiday photos are shown

Speaking of your overly pretentious dictates (and yes, rude) above and those
holiday photos mentioned, whoever put up the Victoria BC photos should, at
least, get the name of Butchart Gardens spelled correctly!!
I would assume you would consider correct place names part of the
non-"repellent" atmosphere you espouse.
