My first 100% handcoded site
For the past few days I've been working on a website. I didn't know what to call it so I just called it my username. 
It's basically my projects, some JavaScript/PHP applications, and some other stuff. It's kind of bare at the minute, but I'm gonna start working on some more stuff soon (the main reason it hasn't got much at the moment is because I can't think of much to do, so feel free to suggest things here). It can be found at redrocker227.tk. 
I'm mainly looking for suggestions/feedback, along with ideas for applications.
I've posted in the Announcements thread, by the way.

Re: My first 100% handcoded site
Cool site, the bright red is a bit too bright for my eyes, though, and the lack of capital letters in the titles bugs me.

I think it looks good with no capital letters, and that's coming from a grammar freak. :L
Thanks for the feedback.

I'm also a grammar freak, but I flinch every time I see your lack of capitalization.

Really nice! Although your password generator needs a limit. I entered length 134567890 and 5 passwords and it stopped working altogether. My browser didn't crash, the "Go" button just did nothing.
You're right, I'll do that now.

Re: My first 100% handcoded site
Okay, I've made it so the maximum length is 30 and the maximum amount that can be generated is 100 -- do those values sound about right?
Also, at some point I may make a non-JavaScript version of it for those who have JavaScript disabled for whatever reason.
EDIT;

I've changed the colours (slightly). Hopefully it won't be as painful to look at now.

Yes, it's like a huge blast of red.

Re: My first 100% handcoded site
Anyone fancy making a mockup of a new design? Because the current colour scheme is the best red-ey one I could come up with :\

Re: My first 100% handcoded site
Pretty good for a hand coded website but not sure if you want to use that as your main layout. I mean, its great to get coding practice but even professionals use templates and automated type tools, its just more efficient. Also, this is where people will make their first impressions on you so looks is important. Take my website for example, I can't really be bothered to fully learn photoshop/dreamweaver/css/javascript/illustrator so I just use Artisteer, an simple design tool.
For that site in particular, I think it kind of looks too boxy. Throwing some images at the top would make it look much cooler
