First Post, A Design... (or two)

Well, hello. This is my first post here, I've been reading a number of posts and feel its a cool site to post for opinions, nice people and all. Though I do feel quite inferior to all ya. :-P Thats why I used a :( for the post smiley, I don't feel the reviews on these will be great, though they are two of my favorite designs I've made...

http://apw.slike.com/apwsiteindex.shtml - Not the typical style posted on here I don't think... my favorite ever. Making it for a friend. The reason for the 18 Xs on the top is that it will be the 18 latest posts on the Flash board.

http://woj.slike.com/ICW/ - A design for myself. Dunno if anybody here knows what an eFed is, but thats what these two sites are.

I feel my main forte is scripting over designing, but I so want to get better at designing and I would value your opinions on these two sites. Thanks for your time.

Chris.

I do not like the squares at the top of the first one, and the second's logo should be put in a better place, possibly not so big...
