Hello,
Please check out my site at http://masternerd.com. If you hit the product button there are some known programming glitches Im working on now. But if you have any input on the design please feel free to post anything
I am a bit concerned about my markup, this is new to me and I was wondering how I could get this validated. I want to do it myself but Im really green at this.
I ran an online validation service and it came back with 90 errors. I know most of them are not errors but I dont have the proper encoding.
Thanks for any help you could give me.
One of the repeated errors it is catching is the usage of the "&" sign in your links' coding. You need to change all of these to "&"
You also need a doctype.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

I love the way the products, coupons and reviews buttons flex in and out when you hover! Very nice. Overall nice too.
Just a couple other comments:
* I personally think a website top header (the MasterNerd.com logo) should also be a link back to the starting page from anywhere in the site.
* You have no favicon.ico. People who use IE aren't as apt to notice it, but I use Firefox and I always notice.
* I dislike animated gifs--they tend to look like cheap glitz.

favicon.ico ? Sorry Im not farmiliar with this If you look at the location bar or tab in Firefox (or any browser but IE) when viewing this site, webdeveloper.com, you will see a small bold "WD" on a bright yellow background. If you are using IE you can't see it unless you add it to your "favorites" menu.
That's the favicon. It's a 16x16-pixel icon in Microsoft's .ico format. It's best to put it right in your root directory, because that's where browsers automatically look for it (check your web log). But some sites have this in the header to make it explicit, or to put in a subdirectory: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> In theory you could also change the name by using this link tag, but it's safer to stick with the expected name.
