Well, after learning some php from scratch over the winter break, I finally completed my first website. I'm working on two others at the moment as well. The other two aren't even up on the net yet, but I can tell just from looking at my first sites coding that I'm getting better :) (and also will be a third this summer - this website stuff got addicting). This is actually my practice website for a more serious one that I plan to eventually complete in the future (I've got lots of time right now).

I decided to do something easy, so it's for an upcoming MMO! (This is actually the first one I plan to really play, never touched WoW believe it or not).

Anyway, the link is:

http://www.gnhultimatesource.com

I know it doesn't validate, I'm kind of having a problem with my phpbb_fetch_all using xhtml code instead of regular html (I'm trying to figure out how to fix this).

That's all!

P.S. Please don't mention anything about the excessive use of tables - I know that already! :p

I like the look and feel a lot. It has a nice "video game" feel. Regarding: the rollover "hover - effects" on the right navigation areas; maybe have them extend the full width of the table, instead of just the text area.

I think the site is very clean. Great job. (keep adding links/content)!

Thanks.

I changed the hover effects so now the entire table cell gets lit up, and it worked out pretty good!

Content right now will be difficult to add (games not supposed to come out until summer heh) - but I'll be doing my best.

Looks good to me, good job. Works fine in IE7 on Vista too ;)

That's kinda kewl. :)
I might add some padding-left to those content boxes, -your text is 'crowded' to the left border/edge.
There are 46 'warnings' ("error-lites", -things like deprecated and/or proprietary tags, etc.), -and a few 'warnings' which are potentially document-altering, like "</font> before </form>" (one tag closed inappropriately before another, -tags should be closed in the order that they were opened). And I saw several "<p />" which is without meaning. I am not sure if the 'virtual closure' works for "<p>" like the way it does for "<br />" or "<hr />". At least, my validator argues against it. :)
But overall, -quite nice. I viewed in Firefox and it looked good (typically, any 'poor code' would show itself badly on a 'compliant browser' such as Firefox).

Well done, -site looks nice. :) I like the mini-stone background tiling image.

I didn't even realize that I didn't pad the text, thanks for pointing that out - fixed :)

By way, what validator are you using?
