feedback:
1. image quality is low, that fuzziness means that you didn't save the image with a better quality
2. the blue looks totally inappropriate, where did it come from?
3. if you have a background, it's most likely you don't need a header image. either/or not and/both
4. your dates aren't center vertically very well, its kinda going up.
I think that's it.
too defaulty for my taste. good start though. at least you know your html, all you gotta do is master the layout image making and you would be on your way.
