Something with a design like this http://www.criterion.com/

Mimicking that overall look doesn't seem too difficult. I think the difficulty would arise in dynamically generating the content, ie drawing from the database to populate everything. I would take you up on the offer, but I still need to improve my skills in some aspects before I start dealing with dynamic content drawn from databases

Alright, this isn't an immediate issue so I'll probably come back in a few months.

@Chris.B is there any diff between taking the two part exam 100-101, 200-101 or taking the one 200-120 exam for the ccna? and which one did you take? anyone else with ccna or people who are studying for the exam can chime in as well

Man... I feel I have reached the pinnacle in this career... next step would be C Level sh*t so I am considering opening my own boutique high end consulting firm... anyone else own their own IT business?

The 100-101 and 200-101 are new. I doubt many on this forum have taken that version, but the two exam approach is better for folks who are new to Cisco. The single exam is usually taken by people re-certifying for their ccna. The clock will be a factor and the sheer amount of stuff on the exam will be very extensive to a networking newbie. Unless you are already an experienced engineer familiar with Cisco steer clear of the composite exam.

I got an interview with Dell coming up as a technical support agent. I think it's a really entry level IT stuff, but it's a stepping stone I guess. Meanwhile I have my website set up on an Unbuntu Cloud server because I'm trying to learn more about Linux. http://humbleprovider.com/

I don't know where to go from here though, maybe build a couple of Wordpress websites to put in the portfolio.

ok thanks. I was really just asking since a friend of mine said he would go for the 1 part exam and I told him I heard that one was more difficult but I wasn't too sure so I came in here to ask. me myself im in the middle of the MCSA Server 2012 exams. passed 70-410 few weeks back, now just have to pass 70-411 and 70-412 in the next few weeks.

Bout to join a A Club for Info sys since I figured it would help with Interns and gaining connects for future jobs, but as i browse the club, Ive seen and talked to some of these people and realizing I have nothing in common with a vast majority of em besides having the same major.

Time for me to step these CSS skills up. Basic CSS is easy, but when you start doing layouts, then it can get kind of annoying. I've actually been missing out on some possible work because my CSS isn't quite to the level it needs to be... since I'd rather focus on Javascript and the advanced functionality that provides... but time to take the hit and step this CSS up.
