I will update the timestamps to be a more user-friendly format. |

I'd prefer to fix the design I have now. By repulsive typography are you referring to my font choice or color choice? |

Also, since you did your your own CSS and Javascript (I think your portfolio site is just individual ASPX pages uploaded via FTP, which is a red flag to me because you didn't set up a CMS), I opened it in my iPhone and noticed that it's not responsive. Not good. Honestly, you could get much better results if you just start with Twitter Bootstrap. It would also demonstrate your experience with Twitter Bootstrap, which is a saleable qualification. |
As for the design here some links:

The website uses master pages, there is an admin end for editing everything all the pages, all the data is retrieved from a MySQL database. So in a sense, I made my own CMS. Which I think demonstrates some technical ability, lol. |

Don't aim at uniqueness for the sake of it. There are some design patterns that have worked for hundreds of years and there's a good reason for it. They work well. There's nothing wrong with using templates but they need to be appropriate to your content/the purpose of the website. Anyway, check the Smashing Magazine website. They have got some useful info (+books) |

Thanks everyone. |
Well, it's converted over to a responsive design using the 1140 grid, looks pretty good on my three year old blackberry, I haven't checked any other phones. I'm going to try messing around with a lighter color scheme tomorrow and different fonts. I'm thinking about light blue and white...
Anyway, I'll mess around with the other things you guys mentioned tomorrow, I just spent the last 8 hours learning how to do responsive designs, so I'm pretty beat. |
