Some of us can't cut & paste (at work) to see your pix.

Pls. go back to Photobucket & cut & paste the THIRD LINE OF CODE (only, I think it's labeled HTML), into a Message Area here. It'll look like nonsense at first, but then if done right, when you hit Preview, you'll see your image.

Am trying to help you, but can't get to the pix.

Change the soil, cut off all dead roots, use the right soil mix. water and fertilize once a week if the plant has live roots. Make sure it has plenty of fresh air, sun. Sun is needed to grow well. Don't let it sit in water, and don't water if the soil is still damp. Put a chop stick or pencil down in to the mix and see if it is perfectly dry. Pick up the pot and feel the weight, then feel the weight after it is watered. When you water make sure it is thorough. Water must readh the root ball.
Give it love, make sure it is healthy. Do not use Peat moss in the soil, make sure the mix drains fast. If this doesn't work bury it and say a prayer. It bends over to reach the sun. Gradually put it into the sun, if you were going to the beach now when it is hot and sun out, wouuld you get a sun burn if you were out for a few hours? Don't just give you plant a drink, put it in the shower and drench it for 5 minutes, the water must reach the center of the root ball not just the edges around the pot. I don't know what more to tell you at at moment. I don't have any books to send, which you do need. I wish I could be of more help. Norma

Norma: It doesn't have dead roots and I used a cactus mix, which seems to be the proper mix. It's not dying, it's just not getting much bigger. It gets plenty of sun and the sliding glass door is sits in front of is open most of the day. I only water when the soil is dry and I give it a good drink. Also, it doesn't bend over to reach the sun because rotating does no difference. But thank you for the suggestions.

Anna,

I know this is an office plant, but this would benefit from being in full sun and outside now. As you know, this plant isn't cold-tolerant so you'd want it back in before nighttime temps were an average of 50, but until it gets cold most Aloes (and this version of Aloe vera, the A.v. variety chinensis) want full sun, air circulation, water when dry and a porous soil. Your plant is not getting all of those and is slightly suffering for it. If it was mine, I'd start by giving it more sun, gradually, and remove those lower leaves, the discoloured ones.

There's an FAQ for this plant - have a look at it, as I think it will answer most of your questions. The link is below

Cactusmcharris, thank you for your feedback. This isn't an office plant, I just moved it on my desk to get a better picture. :) It actually sits on a table that is only 2 feet away from a south facing sliding glass door, so it gets lots of light. I will gradually start moving it out so that it can get some time outside on the patio. The discolored lower leaves are plump and firm, so I was wondering if it was just some tanning from too much time in the sun. Are they probably unhealthy?

Anna,

They're likely not unhealthy for the plant, but as it grows with the increased sun (remember these can sunburn like us) those lower leaves will gradually be discarded. For now, it's just aesthetics as the reason for the suggestion, but they're in the process of dying as the plant grows. I'd also give it a repot into more porous soil (if you need to use perlite to increase the porosity of the soil, use rocks/gravel/stones on top of the soil (aha, it's called top dressing) to prevent the perlite from coming up), but that's the Aloe Boy in me crying out to be heard. This particular Aloe is one that's quite forgiving in its choice of soils, unlike many, so maybe it's all right as it is.
