I originally got the template from freewebs.com but I messed with it until I liked it.

Be harsh because I know it sucks.

The HTML contains no DOCTYPE declaration (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/), making it hard to use automated tools to detect HTML errors and hard to predict how the HTML will render on different browsers, or even different versions of the same browser.

While there can be disagreement about whether meta tags are important for SEO, most could probably agree that including such tags with empty content attributes is just a waste of time and space.

Using the <center> tag around a table row is generally illegal.

There are one or more attributes whose values contain embedded newlines. There is even a URL in an attribute value with embedded newlines. These sorts of illegal constructs lower the odds of getting rendered correctly in more than one browser, and the odds of getting your text all indexed correctly by search engine robots.

Thanks for the advice, I've been changing/adding mainly everything you said, any comments on style? Do you like/dislike the color scheme, is it to busy, please tell me.

The design is a little boring, and I don't like all the centered text. I can barely see the "HOME" link in the top-right corner. As far as code goes, I suggest you learn to use CSS for layout instead of tables, as tables are made for displaying tabular data. The validator (http://validator.w3.org/) cannot validate your page (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freewebs.com%2Ftahclan%2F) because you never specified a charset. To fix that, you should put this in the <head> of your document:<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Learn CSS (http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp) and you should be able to get rid of all of those tag-attributes like bgcolor, alink, vlink, etc etc etc.

Hi -
I agree with nixing centered text, the !DOCTYPE declaration being put in, & a general world-wide need for css basics...
;-)

The 'file folder' image is invisible at the top, and way too visible at the bottom: I saw a greyish long rectangle.

Your navigation / links area is really, really tiny, as well. Keep tweaking and kick that template in the *rse!

Have fun,
El

You might consider learning a server side language and automating this sucker too. www.clanknights.vze.com is my clan site, and I barely have to take care of it.
