Site critique

[sfvb]

I am not a web designer (I have a lot to learn in that area), but I would like a critique of my site

http://www.threadbender.com.

For the person that might visit/revisit my site, I thought a simple, clean site was best, so that's what I was shooting for.

I know I could speed up the Java Script and CSS load time by not formatting those pages, (the HTML for that matter), but decided to leave them formatted for now.

Also, I know that the archives page will become unruly after a period of time. I plan on changing that page into a calendar type page in the future.

Any and all comments are welcome.

Steve

          <th></th><th></th><th></th><th></th><th></th><th></th><th></th><th></th>
      </tr>
   </table>

That is the scariest bit of code I have seen for a long time.

What is it doing, and why are you doing it that way?

I use IE 5.5 and the interactive bit doesn't seem to work as expected. I understand you intend to do more work in this area, though, so no problem for now.
My main concern is how the site relies so heavily on javaScript - in fact it doesn't work at all without it. Many of us - including me, browse with JavaScript disabled except for a few 'trusted sites', so this site would be effectively unavailable to us. Also spare a thought for those with disabilities or who have a text-only browser for whatever reason, but who might appreciate your work.

Is there any way, I wonder, of presenting this in a similar way without relying on javaScript?

Regards, Andy.
