Thanks for all your input!

Other than the font being way to small on the navigation menu, I have no problem with the looks. However...the code on the other hand...

Instead of putting your table in <center></center> tags why not use align="center" table attribute?

It's acceptable to not use double quotes for attribute values, but I think it's poor coding not to.

I guess you put in the alt attributes for images in there just to validate your code but did not put in any values? The reason it will not validate without the alt attribute is for a good reason. That reason being is the image doesn't load a user can still know what's going on by reading. If you don't assign a value to the alt attribute then you defeat the purpose of the validator requiring one in the first place.


Summary: Looks okay other than the navigation menu text being way to small. The code...well that's another story.

Ok thanks. I've changed some of the coding as you suggested. I havn't changed the link size yet though, I might make it a bit larger

There is nothing inheritly wrong with leaving an alt attribute empty if the image only serves a presentational function, altough then it shouldn't be in the content anyway, but that's a whole different matter.

What is incorrect is placing any style elements in the body; these definitely belong in the head.
It's not advisable to use font elements to emulate headings; use hn elements, that's what they're there for. Do not use font elements, period, for that matter.
Same goes for center elements and center attributes (!); using CSS to center things is far more flexible.

By the way: the general layout is okay, the stark blue background tends to distract and tire the eyes after a while, and personally I would align the header and the menu and content columns vertically.

Yes; that background color is too much.

Also, you need to have some padding on your content. It's hugging the edge of the boxes a bit too close. And I want to see the two content columns snuggle up close to each other. I don't like that they are far apart.

The design's fine; nothing spectacular. Change the background color and move the two columns together and it would look better, but still nothing to write home about. A two-column layout with a header...yep. It gets the job done.

P.S. The "font size is too small!" bit has been said already, but I want to be sure to echo it. Even the graphics you made for "navigation" and "content" are tiny. And why does your header graphic indicate that it's "planet.neopia"? That's not your URL and that could easily get distracting later.

This is getting complicated. I guess I should mention the fact that I got help with the HTML coding of my website, meaning I'm not very good at HTML and I don't know what I'm doing.
I might as well ask this here if it is aloud, what do you guys think of this sitewww.tnmg.ssxh.net (http://www.tnmg.ssxh.net)? Would that be a better layout to use then the other one you guys were looking at? (This is my other site)

Btw, what code would I use to change the link size?
