Noah:
Good work. Seems like a cookie-cutter approach from your "pimpmywebpage.com" and ringsideaction sites though.
CHeck out the roster page. That table needs work. Lots of it. Names don't line up cleanly with the images. Needs two tables, identical heights, within sepparate tables so you can choose to on/off the borders.
Oh, and stop using FrontPage. You do actually know how to make web pages, right? Nothing like an MS product spewing forth BAD code. Use SSI for your repeatable stuff, it will save time and is LOADS more portable. FrontPage generates crud. I made practically a carreer out of fixing FrontPage mishaps as FrontPage is ONLY compatible with MSIE on the PC. I test on Mac, PC and Linux using a wide variety of browsers. Then again, with 20+ machines running at any given point of time at my location, testing becomes trivial.
Then again, I'm old school and like to get things moving quickly. All the pages look great, but the HTML gives me the heaves. Excessive repeated usage of non-essential elements and imposed JaveScript, typical bulkware signatures of FrontPage.

man I'll just say it... be a man and do it old school. I use notepad only. I remember a day when that was the only program for website design.
Everyone wants me to start using crud like php nuke, front page, and all that other stuff. Notepad baby, notepad. It seperates the OG's from the FNG's

Ok, I do cheat and use front page, ill admit that but, i do know html...... My rule is...Learn html then you can get lazy and use Front Page (knowing it is necessary to clean up the code later) and just so you know, I use SSI for almost everything on the UWA page, I use it for the navigation links and the footers and such. I really like how the site is turning out but bare in mind, there is still work to be done on it so give me a break. In the meanwhile, at least its better then the last design

True. The design is better. I'm not dissing cookie cutter approaches. I used it for a site for NASA I did a few years back www.studio42.com/nasa/in case anyone cares. It was for kids. My philosophy: Don't get lazy because as soon as you do, you'll get bit in the butt hard. Avoid MS products as much as possible. They tie you in and hose you over. Windows ME, need I say more? OK: XP, 2K, 2003, 98, 98SE, 95(A,B&C revisions), 3.1... Office.... The list keeps growing... Yes, a lot of work still needs to be done. I do 90% of my work on Macs since they just work more appropriately for how I work and what I do without Windoze getting in the way, then post it up to the Linux server and test with Windoze. Gotta get the Keith Urban photos online....
