Use a WYSIWYG editor, but code by hand. That way you can directly see what your code results in. Once you become better at understanding your code, try using Notepad++

I've used various hosts over the years, both paid and free (GoDaddy = bad). The best experience has been with Deluxe Host aka DHost; they've hosted my sites for four years and counting and I haven't had any problems except for this one really long downtime (2 months) about a year and a half ago. But, they're free, they have PHP and MySQL support, and they have a support forum as well. 100 MB, and virtually unlimited bandwidth.If you're looking for something like that... give it a shot. Take a close look at their Terms of Service as they do have a few restrictions (very reasonable!)Side Note: If you don't need PHP/MySQL or a lot of space, use their sister service, XT Host.Oh, another note: If you become a DHost user, and you're running out of the 100 MB space, just ask for more. As long as you're still within the ToS and have a good reason you can get (virtually) unlimited space.EDIT: This is a good host for small sites. If you're looking for a corporate or business site I suggest you look elsewhere.

Nice job =)The date could be placed a bit higher above the navigation, and changed to yellow. I don't know if you can change this, but the URL is too damn long.

Then give the correct link next time.

Use px instead of pt.

True I like good programming.

I don't see anything wrong with the page, but in the stylesheet you have font-size: xx-large, or something like that. Is that supposed to be there?

Nice site!I can't help you out with your problem, but may I suggest you use CSS instead of framesets?Here is some source code you can look at for ideas (it's mine)http://dhost.info/aquatsr/uranium/ss1.css

I don't think you can open something that doesn't exist, but it's been a while since I fiddled with PHP, so get confirmation on that from someone else.

Well not only are they ragging on br, but their code isn't compliant. All tags need to be closed.

I have a suggestion: keep the colors for the heading and logo only, and take it off for the page content and menu. All the bright yellow seriously hurts the eyes.Remember, a website like yours is mainly to showcase information, which should be easily accessible and exceedingly easy to read.

The point is not to let others see it, the point is to learn. After you're sure of your abilities, you can move it onto a public site; something every good coder should know (######, it's just FTP)

Hmmm. That's right, it would work but it's making it more complicated than it needs to be. For beginners, arrays are sometimes difficult to comprehend.The way I did it was to use the rand() function to pull a number, then an if statement that showed a particular image for a particular number. It certainly isn't as efficient as an array, but it's easier to understand.Anyway it's like 3 or 4 am local time, so I'm out.

PHP FTW ? heh. You can utilize PHP to 'randomly' select from a list of images. I did it for a background logo of a site I made a few years back.

In cases such as the above ^, it's useful because if you have an index page that is old, but you want to keep it, you can rename the extension to .htm, and keep a new version .html, therefore only one will display but you have both available.

It's better if you download Apache and PHP module and MySQL because it will allow you to learn PHP faster and more efficiently.

You're not doing anything wrong. Except perhaps using frames. Are you using frames in this manner: <frameset>blah blah blah</frameset> If so, I suggest you look into CSS. CSS can give you a frame / iframe layout without actually using frames. It takes a little more work to maintain, but if you also have PHP or ASP at your disposal, it can be very rewarding.Search engines like Google pick up both your menu page and your main page, but it won't link the two and the two may even have separate rankings. If you want (crude) examples of HTML frames vs. CSS, take a look at my pages below:Uses HTML Frames: http://dhost.info/aquatsr/uranium/v1/ (sorry about the ads)Uses CSS to simulate frames: http://dhost.info/aquatsr/uranium/If you want more info on using CSS to simulate frames (AFTER looking at my code) then feel free to PM me.

There doesn't have to be a way. How do you open a new tab in such browsers as I.E. 6 and below? You can't. Not everything has a pleasing answer.

Google ItI don't recommend doing this, because I've heard it's hard to get rid of the images.

I've seen it done elsewhere like this too. Looks good.

To become a good web developer and designer, you need only a few of the skills mentioned. To become an overall good programmer and designer, I suggest you start with the basics and work your way up through whatever you find interesting, not stopping at any given point.I suggest knowing:+ HTML/XHTML+ CSS+ some Javascript+ PHP+SQL/ASP/.NETIn addition it may be worth learning:+ UNIX+ Python+ Perl+ C/C+++ Java+ XML+ DHTMLPrograms you should be familiar with:+ Dreamweaver+ Photoshop or the equivalent+ Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, ExcelPrograms you may want to look up:+ Flash+ Fireworks+ Freehand+ Go Live+ FrontPage+ Illustrator+ Live Motion+ Image Ready+ Quark+ Microsoft Outlook, Access, Visio, ProjectIn my personal opinion being a web developer isn't enough. You must also focus heavily in either pure programming, or pure artwork and design. Without one of the two, you're just another web developer.

This is off-topic but nice site layout - very clean and simple. I like it.

I see a scrollbar...btw Firefox doesn't show custom scrollbar colors.
