and in particular with the concern he expresses about copyright. You're technically in breach of copyright when you paste slabs of text from other sources, and it would be wise to make contact with the people who run websites to ensure that they're happy about what you've done.

The vogue for fancy site backgrounds died out a long time ago, and the clouds detract from the real business, which is to engage people with the content. You have plenty of that, and you should let it speak for itself. I would lose the animated 'welcome to my website' gif immediately, it's an unwelcome distraction, and the text would be easier to read if it was black, and a point size smaller.

All that aside, it's an interesting site, and with some redesign you'll have something that will gradually build traffic. Keep it updated regularly - sites like this need constant injections of new content.
