Is this a development question?

err shit....sorry....well in a way isn't it? Because I'm asking for comments on it to make it better. To add onto the site.

uh I guess it's in the wrong area, I just thought since it is webdesign it would go here. meh looks like it's going to be the same again.

where will the navigation go?

Well here goes:
Tables used for layout
Deprecated elements are used
and worst of all, [glow=red,2,300]no doc type[/glow]. The browser is instantly in quirks mode.

Also, you left out a few alt tags and that displayed as [inline] on a nongraphical browser that I looked at your site in.

It's a different type of navigation. I'm working on that now.
What do you mean? Don't you use tables...

XHTML/CSS is the "way to go", but in the real world, everyone still uses tables.

Just a question, how come like...some people that view it the tables are all messed up?

Mm.  I think somebody estimated that Slashdot could save about 8GB of bandwidth per day if they switched to CSS (from tables).

So I guess I need to learn CSS and then code it that way.

It's fine, better than your previous stuff I'd say. But I too question where navigation is gonna go. :P

Well I don't know if I really am gonig to have a navigation. Just links in some of the content boxes. Like um..."Become an Affiliate!"

"Join the Forum!"

"More articles here!"

Stuff like that. But, I may make a full nav for it. Plus guys, think I should add onto it? This is just a concept I made so I need to know how I could make it better.

Get some of your friends to visit the site at school and give you some feedback, some of the best suggestions I've heard for websites have been from friends at school.

That's a great idea! Thanks. Hmm, do you guys think the layout is fine or does it need tweaking?

I think you need to pad the table cells containing text a few pixels.

[/quote] It does save on bandwidth. But it will also make your pages easier to manage. It keeps your layout separate from yuor content and structure, which keeps everything much nicer. It will also make things much more accessible. When a browser does not support css the content is still read but unstyled. When the browser does not support a table, it has to linearize it and text may become jumbled.
