I don't like it at all. First off, it isn't centered or bordered. Second off, it is a slow load. Also the logo isn't good. The text coloring does not match the site at all. The resume has regular links w just blue, no other colors on rollover. Also you don't have previews of your work. IDK it needs a lot of work.

Sorry for the tough review,

do u read? i said its all old content and it hasnt ben updated, its there just to show teh basic layout. I havnt even put any of my work in there yet, its NOT near finished.
as for text color, ill have to hear some more b4 changing teh color. i think it goes good with the blue. i agree the logo sucks, i just through it in there.and its not centered, but it will be.
But..... Thank you for your input.

It looks pretty nice to me so far, however it looks a bit strange down the right side and bottom, as the page just cuts off.

The first big error you've made is that there's two copies of the doctype, head and body tags.

HTML Validator:

Line 78:
"Found an extra and/or out of place document type declaration (<!DOCTYPE ... >). Every HTML and XHTML document should have one and only one document type declaration, and it should normally be the first line of the document. An exception is for XML documents where the first line is normally the XML declaration (<?xml ... >) and the second line is the document type declaration."

Line 80:
"The "html" element cannot be used here. It is nested in another "html" tag and cannot be nested. Did you forget to close the previous "html" tag? This element may be contained in "(first tag)". This element may not be contained in "html"."

Line 103:
"The end tag for "span" was found, but "span" was never opened, has been ended too many times, or cannot have an end tag."

Line 122:
"The end tag for "br" was found, but "br" was never opened, has been ended too many times, or cannot have an end tag."

Also, try using normal text links for the navigation as they load faster, can be updated easier and improves Search Engine Optimization. You certainly don't need images for the navigation in your case.

looks ok

i tihnk your main links are ordered wrong, and you need to centre and border it.

dont really like the colours wither, irs a bit bland, and the text colour doesnt matcha ll too well

logo is bad as wel

The orange color on a white background is very bad :imho:
I didn't like the header

Color blending needs refinement, blue text over the blue background with no rollover is not very visible.
I can hardly read the CopyWrite (or should I say "Copyright") at the bottom.

The orange text is painful to the eyes, try a different combination. Logo could be improved, but not a bad start.

Keep working on it, and it will eventually (i hope) look better. Good luck!!

yeah orange color dont match on the white bg. the design is boring. nice placement of google ads.

 

[skrilla]

what color text would you all suggest i use?
eg. #FF8C00;

btw im working on changes.i have had some really good feedback, and plan to listen and make the changes.

oh, how do i center a div tag using an external stylsheet?

 

[dongan]

body {
text-align: center;
min-width: 600px;
}

#class-name {
margin:0 auto;
width:600px;
text-align: left;
}

 

[skrilla]

body {
text-align: center;
min-width: 600px;
}

#class-name {
margin:0 auto;
width:600px;
text-align: left;
}

im not sure what this means..

This is what i have so far:

<div class ="bg">
site
</div>

the div tag is surrounding my entire site in order to contain everything. I had to do this for browser reasons.
next:
in my css i have:

.bg {
position:absolute;
width:800px;
height:650px;
left:0px;
top:0px;
}

what do i need to do to this to center my site ?

just had a look at your site. it seems you have fixed this issue.

 

[skrilla]

notr exactly.. my div tags that are inside the main div tag are not following the rest. my alignment is messed up in one browser or the other, IE, OR FF

 

[skrilla]

iv fixed a few of the problems, need to change links to html links with mousovers and sidelinks will be changed as well.. any other suggestions or comments?
