Linux Advocacy Webpage


Hi all. I created a small Desktop-Linux Advocacy site with Bravenet, a free subscription, so I can only have 17MB of traffic per day. Once I learn more about creating and maintaining a website (& its security, et al), I will actually have it registered. (Tight on funds, low on knowledge @ the moment, etc.)
Can anyone offer ideas as to what content I should include (and omit) from such a site?
I've looked at similar sites, and consequently have a few additions / subtractions planned for my own, but your opinions are obviously worthwhile as fellow Linux users.
Think of the first time you heard about Linux, the questions you initially had, etc. Do you know of any sites (still maintained, that I can request to link with) that give simple, plain-English explanations of Linux for someone of the microsoft mentality?
Of course the grammer will be heavily revised, and content more dynamic, once I learn such skills and purchase my little portion of cyberspace. Constructive flames are welcome.

The site is currently located at:

http://desktoplinux.bravehost.com

TIA for your feedback. If you can't access the site to give your opinions, let me apologize beforehand for this. As of Thursday, November 6th, I can only have 15 more megs of traffic (out of 17), per day. That's pathetically low, I know, but I will have a permanent site once I learn enough to make it correctly, get a lot of bandwidth, & enough knowledge to secure and administer it.
I don't do this for a living (duh, apparently); electrical & surveying jobs take up most of my days (and nights) as of now. But since adopting Linux (for my company, my other job, and my home) have proved to be a blessing compared to what the competition offered, I've come to relish what Open Source has to offer.

Moved: Asking for criticism on your own websites belongs and is more suitable in General, not Linux - General. Regards.
