Let's try this again with the message! ;-)

Oh, I am very critical of my work. dorayme expressed it well, wish I
that time to redo everything!

Although some could have couched criticism a bit, their points were very
valid. Aside of the aesthetics, your site if fundamentally broken.
Images and text overlap, Tiny red text on black is very hard to read.
What little CSS styling is used is poor:

"font-weight:bold; font-size:12px; font-family:tahoma;}"

12px is both too small and inflexible, Tahoma does not exist on my
Mandrake and Fedora systems and no general font family was specified
which means a serif font will be used. Tiny red on black serif text is
impossible to read. Your goal of designing for two resolutions is
misguided, a point that has been belabored in this and the other thread.
The reliance on client-side script to build your page is a big error...
When you've been informed of this you have lash out and other have
reciprocated. Hey, this is not kindergarten and Barney-land (that damn
insiped purple dinosaur) where everything is sugar-coated, this is
Usenet. Ask a question and your going to get a direct response most
time, ask for critique and you'll get that too. Be a bit receptive and
you might find your markup may benefit.

Take care,
