Default Made some changes

After working on the site again, I have made some changes that were expressed to me. I have added a site map and changed out the old "stock" store page to a new and revamped one that I made all by myself.(It still needs more pics on it but it is a start) Tweaked here and there. Added a privacy policy page
I would really like to know what you think of all the changes.

The questions I need answered are
Privacy policy Page- Is it TOO wordy? I have a hard time with shutting up so I kept on adding till I thought it would cover everything. I didnt have one before so I tried and gave all the information I could possibly give on the page.
Site Map- I have never made one before so I guessed at it. Is it right does it need more of something ?
Store Page- I know it still needs more pictures on what is in each catagory I just have to make sure the ones I use have enough stock before I put it on there.

OK that is about it I guess. If there is something I missed let me know. I want ALL feedback. In the most simpliest terms please. Keep in mind that this is a template type set up. I know NOTHING about HTML or website programming. I have ben looking around and pricing domains and webhosting and stuff that gives me more freedom but for right now I am working with what I have
Thank You
Sheila

The first thing that sticks out when I visit your site is your logo. The graphic isn't clean, and could be redone. A clean logo is part of branding, and visitors are attracted to good-looking graphics. Also, just the lbue "CaronWorldWideRetail" (header_caronworldwideretail.png) graphic is 37k, something that can easily be reduced to less than 15k. Another reason for its large size is that it is a PNG file. Convert it to a .gif or .jpg since web browsers can read them easier, and they're also smaller files.

I took a look at your code. Here is something that needs fixing on the home page: <A
href="mailto:addressiscontactus@caronworldwidereta il.itcstore.com"></FONT><FONT
color=black>is </FONT></FONT><FONT size=2><A
href="mailto:contactus@caronworldwideretail.itcsto re.com"
mailto:contactus@caronworldwideretail.itcstore.com ?>

I suggest removing the link altogether anyway, unless you are prepared to launch your site and get the biggest batch of spam you will ever receive. The link mailto: is highly vulnerable to spam spiders, and will be picked up immediately when they crawl your site. There are other ways of linking to your email, but usually an email form is best for getting email. If your server cannot process and send mail, I recommend visiting this easy form installer and email sender: www.response-o-matic.com. There are many more out there, some that are better, too. You can also find a javascript that can display your email with security, visit here: www.javascriptkit.com.

The link in your vertical navigation should be changed from "Privacy and Product Policies" to "Store Policies." The term with "store" is more broad and general, and it is easier to add more policies later, too.

To answer your questions:
Privacy Policy - just fine
Site Map - just fine
Store Page - needs some organizing, instead of a long page of just one category to each line, double or triple categories to a line

Hope this helps...
