As you probably all know, my site (here) has always attracted negative attention for my awful webdesign.
I thought I'd finally sort this out now (2 years after the site first went up). Basically all of the pages of the site are based on the same template. Basically I make a table and put a border round it. Here are the borders I use: see here and here). Then, I use basic textured backgrounds in my tables (see here and here) - and I write and put pictures on these.
Now, what I'm looking to do is just to REPLACE these with a clean template that highlights the content and doesn't draw attention to my awful web skills.

Any help would really be appreciated.
