Completely changed my homepage to be less distracting. Just my picture and a drop-down navigation bar.
Instead of having my bio, links and assignments all on one page, I split the homepage into a home page and a bio page each with a drop-down navigation bar.
I made my assignment 6 pages easier to read with a slightly transparent white background behind the text.
Minimized extra distracting text on the pages by just having a title and a navigation bar.
Gave the titles a shadow to make them pop out more.
