Website facelift, suggestions?

[CTPhil]

I'm working on overhauling the only site I've done. The first stab was using MS Publisher, it got a site up, but lots of drawbacks. So I'm redoing it on Virtual Mechanics Site Spinner, looking for suggestions on making it better, more interesting. Thanks.

Present site: My first site

The upgrade: Redone site
