There's nothing "oddly" about it <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

The file extension matters. There's a difference between index.html and index.htm, for example. Choose one extension and stick with it.

Don't change the link ... change the file name!

Those colors still make me want to vomit. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Use more then 2 colors. The text really should be the only thing that color. Whatever that color may be.

This I disagree with. I think the text should be kept grey our white or somthing. I hate reading colored text!

um ... I didn't suggest making the text some random flusha color or something. I said keep it unique, that's all.

I think his text shouldn't be red. Yellow, would be easier to read, but white would look better.

As long as there is a good contrast (which isn't present right now), there shouldn't be any "hatred" of the color. Whatever makes it easiest to read, right?

I see you're using css now, but you're not using it. Those menu items for example could all do with a simple class reference, as they all use the same properties.

Example, in your css file, put:

font.standard
{
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 80%;
color: #FFFFFF;
}

and in your html, use this:

<font class='standard'></font>

You could leave the classname out in the css file, in which case all normal font tags use that properties. Quite handy, don't you think? <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">


Also, change that background image. Right now you're gonna have trouble for longer pages. Use divs to create those black blocks instead. A div for the title image would be usefull too, so you can use a repeating background image for the main body of the site.

i was thinking of sticking an iFrame on the divs if i needed a longer page, that was i can just make it have a scroll bar.

I've chosen to keep it just for 1024x768 resolution as that's what most people use, i've only come across one person so fat who doesn't use that.

Well, you should get rid of the underlined links. They don't fit with the style, imho.
And secondly... a little recommendation for you as of the content. There is more than enough of those HL2 mapping tuts, which are as good for beginners as ever. If you want to come out with something more original, pick UT for example <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif"> But for HL2... there are far too many. Coding - yes, that's a thing. And modelling, with XSI - that's another good thing. For the mapping... leave it. You don't have to try to make HL2 mapping tuts, as I said... there is no need for this. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

i don't know UT , i don't know XSI and i deffenatly don't know coding <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> content will mainly be just s**t i write to help people do designing i think, not the actual work in hammer.

also it will be maps of me and friends.

i don't care if there's no need for it , this is mainly just a map showoff site and for fun, and i thought i'd just write some stuff as i'm bored anyway.

Something to remember about CSS is it allows you to "create" tag names.

Such as, if you defined, in your style area, a class with the name "body" everything within the body tag would have that text's format. Very handy so you don't have to label things more then once.

If you've ever used the < p > tag, this is exactly what you're doing.

Just check the w3 site(s) it'll tell you everything you need to know, what to use, how to use it, and when you should use it.

Its too red and black. Its annoying for my eyes. But thats just me.

However.

I find fonts themselves very fascinating. Isnt it awesome that, all the people in the world, wherever they live or whatever they do, they all know what the fonts are called and they all use the same ones. Its like a miracle.

I'd suggest using tables and split the background image so it loads a bit better. Also set a background colour for the site, and don't use too much red.

Hmm, I didn't look at the background image before ... don't do that!

Just make the background the stripped pattern, in a very small image, it will tile it's self.

The only image on the site other then that should be your logo header bar thing.

Those boxes can be made using the div or span tags ... you can color fill with CSS and add different color borders. Then in each div/span, you can position the text or whatever anyway you like and position the entire div/span anywhere on the page.

Honestly, there's no need to use tables though, there are much better methods.

The colors still need work too.
