Astro Web - world of asteroids and comets

I made a personal webpage, maybe with not very unique name "Astro Web - world of asteroids and comets". I know it is a very broad field, but I try to inform there mainly about my astronomy work - asteroid huntings in archival data.

I wonder what do you say to construction of this web?
Any comments welcome and not only about design, but also to my English mistakes ....

Thanks a lot in advance

No comments yet - is it too bad and not worth for a word than? I tried to present my asteroid hunting work in SkyMorph archive - not only in Slovak but also in English version...

Looks fine to me. About comments, don't expect many. This said, the amount of content it takes to keep someone for more than a few minutes on such a website is rather staggering, and people do not compliment or thank often.

It can be quite a cruel thing to put in all this effort, and have no knowledge of what people think of it. But, congratulations are usually few and far between. The "astro websites" of CN, is a segment many never visit, so it does take time before you get any visits, and even more for comments to start beeing sent to your E-mail. You are likely to get spam a lot faster than comments at any E-mail adress you leave on a website. Such is the small-time web author's reality.

Don't be bogged-down by this. A website, just like a blog or magazine, only gets more interesting as content adds up over time. Content is the sole reason for people to show up, and the more you offer, the more readership you get. It's a bit like a Bonsai tree. You have to feed it, trim it, maintain it and be very patient.
