Try http://www.50webs.com .. free hoster, good uptime and speed, no ads whatsoever, 50meg space etc ... far better than geocities scum of the earth host

Then instead of just putting a template there put your final content on the page and link it up, then ask for another review and you'll get comments that will solve all your last minute niggly problems you encounter on the way

The content area needs to be contained. On a high resolution screen, the line lengths are very long, making it difficult to read.

You might consider placing your navigation links in unordered lists [<ul>], rather than having them as <a>'s with <br>'s to separate them.

Keep plugging away with the CSS - you've got a nice start.

Do you mean making a min and max width for the content area? I tried doing that but can't get it to work. This is what I had in the content div #content{
display: block;
margin-right: 200px;
margin-left: 200px;
margin-top: 3em;
margin-bottom: 4em;
background-color: #ffffff;
width:auto;
font-size:12px;
padding: 5px 15px;
min-width:400px;
max-width:700px;

} Also when I tried using a li for links they all became indented, so I just did it with <br>'s

IE doesn't recognize min/max width/height; that's why it doesn't work.
I suggest choosing a specific width, like 40em, for the section. The Web Style Guide (http://www.webstyleguide.com/) suggests that anything past that creates line lengths that are too long.

You can achieve the <ul> navigation with margin/padding settings to negate the default list styles.

ul.box {list-style-type: none;}/* Place the rest of your "box" styles here, but without the margin & padding settings */
ul.box li {list-style-type: none; margin-left: 15px; padding-left: 0;}

thank you. I'm going to work on a new side nav bar that's not so boring.

Can someone help me figure out why the bottom black border does not show up when you hover over one of the 'quick links'. site (http://cwc.50webs.com/index.htm)

Nice simple layout. Can't really add much. For layout tests try using lorum ipsum to fill it out (it's a printers thing) and it gives you a better idea about how the content may layout. Not sure what editor you are using but I know that there is a good lorus generator for dreamweaver.
