They are what I would call workmanlike. If you want to create the
impression of a capable, knowledgeable, but boring web author they are
fine.

Contrast Jukka Korpela's http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www.html and
Roedy Green’s http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss.html. They both cover
the technical content well and they are both "good" web sites but they
are world's apart in the interest they create and what they reveal
about the authors.

I decided that I did not have the visual talents required to create an
attractive web site so I chose one from OSWD <http://www.oswd.org/>.
Their advanced search allows you to restrict the results to specified
[X]HTML and/or CSS standards. If you are redesigning your site it is
well worth a visit if only to gauge what _you_ regard as visually
attractive.
