Better looking than the one we are redirected to!

That was what I thought too! Change does not seem *as urgent*
with this one if most people see what I see. It is a lot better
than many web pages you see, never mind all the bad mistakes.

A decent server would be a start.

OP should probably be rid of the bg image given the level of
skill because to work as bg to text needs skill. To make a
background scale with the text usually means making the container
that the text is in scale by em dimensioning it. The background
to *this* container will give a graphic effect. How to put these
two things together along with all the other boxes is trickier.

First thing is to get a simple mark-up before styling. Since the
OP has renewed interest, perhaps he could first notice that if
you turn off all styles in say Firefox with the Web Developer
extensions installed and take a look at the CSS, nothing much
changes and there is no CSS. It is a nice example of complete
presentational mark-up.

We cannot have this! So, lets leave the styling and looks till
later. First thing is a doctype. How about HTML Strict 4.01.

A head, a title inside the head, a body. The body has as a main
<h1> heading "SeattleCFS" ...

Houston, we have a countdown... (but there is no hurry now...)
