I think mister galager ( answer above) provided the sites…down in the right hand corner of that moneycentral page is " beginner's investing"…but I think you may already be beyond that if you've been handling stocks for 13 years.
The " limited funds" portion of your question makes it hard to help…no one but you knows how limited… hopefully the plan administration has a web- site where you can compare performance of the offered funds….that's your best bet. If you can look at " holdings" and you know something about stocks, that's another way to compare.
I think what you're really looking for is some kind of " allocation" guide. How risky or conservative you should be…and at what age. I have found that most advisers are a little on the conservative side… and they tend to ignore or under estimate the growing benefits of " international" or " global" funds….if there are one or two in your available funds, don't be afraid to go in at 15 or 20 or even 25%…. even the best performing American companies are the ones that do a good percentage of their business outside the U.S.( Why shouldn't you get on the bandwagon)
Sorry I went way off-topic, good luck.
Sorry, again, but I just saw these couple of headings that MAY be what you're looking for..at; http://finance.yahoo.com/education/begin_investing
In the middle of the page…a few headings about " allocation" and " portfolio theory"
