I just decided to look at this site and realized, it has not been worked on in about a month.
I will try and get something out soon, I have just had lots of schoolwork lately!
Something that will be changed, is the side images will only be generated after an update, this will allow browsers to cache the dynamic images.

Note the ads on this page are
there as a place holder uncase I decide to use them. They are
not real, one is a Romanian Cable Internet Provider, and the
other is HowStuffWorks.
This site layout will probably
be used for the children sites of this, but with different main
colors and probably less contrast, although I like high
contrast.
The child sites are
remotelythere.com (which is a site dedicated for easy remote
connections of RDC, VNC, and X11) and digitaldropbox.com (a file
sharing/upload/hosting site)
Links are all dynamic and
generated by directory layout.
I am thinking about changing
colors of logo on the top right.
I am going to rework the site to
get the links and articles and stuff through a database.
The database will be updated
based on directory structure by a script either called manually
or by a cron job.
Currently structure is name.page,
but soon will be for:
main pages: name.order.default.page
articles:
name.section.order.article
projects:
name.section.order.project
Articles will include things
like: How to generally protect your computer
Overview of spyware removal/prevention
Antivirus Application Overview (Which is better for what)
Firewall Application Overview (Which is better for what)
VPN How-To-Solution
The articles will probably be
Wiki based, unless abused, so Users can add-on
Projects will include
open-source projects that are currently being worked on. (C++,
PHP, VB, etc)
As you can see at the bottom of
the page, articles and large documents will be split-up to a
nicer form, a print form will be added to make a
printer-friendly version of the page, PDF will make the
printer-friendly page a PDF file for archives.
The links on the bottom will
probably be for privacy statement, contact information, resume,
etc...
The find box is not yet active
and probably will not be coded until I get content up.

Here is a test layout for highsupport.com
Let me know what you think!
I tried to keep similar color schemes from old to new with some
exceptions.
What do you think about the new logo, good? bad? ok?
I had trouble with the marquee in the old design as new standards came
out and would always misalign so no marquee.
Considering a what's new section on the right ---> just a box like on
planetsourcecode.com (except theirs is on the left)
Do the link buttons look alright. I tried
to keep the shapes basic, o if the mouse on the top corner is
copyrighted I am sorry, let me know, I just did a google image search
and found it. The color and contrast was changed so it may be
alright. I did not see a copyright
Due to the amount of bandwidth active
chat systems take, I probably will not have that, but a forum probably,
if I can get people to chat there.
Next Phases is to change link images to
PHP GDlib Generated, instead of static.
Come up with php logic and translate into PHP instead of sliced Paint
Shop Pro image
I need to figure out content for this
site, as it has not been maintained in a long time.
