This site was chock full of great information, but I was overwhelmed by the lack of white space. I did like the three column format, and really appreciated the left and right columns being on a colored background to provide visual distinction from the center. It was nice to have a search box at the top of the right column, a generally intuitive place to look. It is clear that this site is all about information access, and not so much about user attractiveness.

I like this site better than the above... although it is very text heavy, the gray background color is not as harsh as a bright white background to the eyes. I looked through the HTML tutorial, it was clear, detailed and easy to follow. A+ from me! For a beginning designer, it might be too much information, but someone with even a little bit of HTML or XML experience should find it to be an excellent resource.

All the basics are here! No major design elements or flaws to speak of, just a useful and functional web page. I looked at the SSH tutorials before class on Thursday and they were very helpful. I like the use of Captivate to show users what they should see when they perform the operations on their own computer.
