Perhaps the number of visitors is up because you posted the link on this site a couple of times. If you're doing a good business of successfully providing tech support, then what's the problem? I'm sorry, but I don't have time to proof read someone else's web site. If you don't have a good command of the English language, then I would suggest either hiring someone or finding a volunteer to help you with English.

Yeah all I have to say is the buttons, they just seem random.

Put them in columns or just change them compleatly, they make the site look unprofessional.

Hi Gman121

I want to say something positive, so well done on having good intentions! You want to give up a little of your own time to help others out and that's great - it's the same reason many of us post our advice here on the TSG forums However, I truly believe you should be spending yout time learning rather than teaching. The content on the site is sporadic and limited, and to be honest, I don't come away from the site feeling like you have any technical knowledge at all.

My advice is to choose the area which interests you the most and concentrate on learning as much as you can about it. Put your time and energy into furthering your own knowledge, and then try to help others in your specialist area. I spent years teaching myself web design and now own my own web design company, but you won't find me giving advice on setting up networks. If you want to make websites, make one about something that interests you instead, and use the site as a testing ground for the skills you will surely learn.

Have you tried a spell checker? That would be a good start.

a dictionary

Seriously though, a spell checker won't fix everything. When you say "it only works have the time" you actually want to say "it only works half the time", but a spell checker wouldn't flag that - it's your grammar at fault there. It would pick up "alternitaves" though which should be "alternatives"

Try this online tool instead.

you remind me of me.

i have some questions.
1) what is this? why don't you just use a screen shot?
2) i know this is irrelevant, but how old are you? just curious.
3) is this your first website?

well i was pretty impressed. other than the grammar, i think it looks alright. try this though, just browse other sites,like random other sites and take notes. take some sites that really caught your eye and compare them to your own.

some suggestions.. instead of drawing your own graphics, try google images, you might not get the exact image you're looking for, but you can always edit the image if need be, but making images in mspaint doesn't always look so professional. you need a logo, somehting that actually says the name of the site, not just a picture of a computer, and you need to put it in the header look at the tech guy logo in the header of this page. the biggest flaw, aside from the grammar, i think is the way you have the links orgainized. rollover images are always a cool addition to the page, but the way you have them just kinda slapped up there doesnt really do justice. try somthing simpler.. even if you have to get rid of the rollovers, it might be a fair trade if you can get all the links centered and on one line.

straighten it up a little and i'll a link on one of my sites. here's one i just started last night: http://www.geocities.com/xggordiex

good luck
