Since I wasn't getting any reply's in the HTML section and no one was moving my post here, and I don't even know if I can move it, I just created a new thread, so sorry. Many reviews would be wonderful and e-mail me some stuff. PLZ
I would like people to look at my site it's ok, it works for what it is needed for except for the colors. There are a few things that I would like to change and I would like suggestions on these things.
1. The colors I have heard are not the best so, could you give me some combinations that would go?
2. The site is all html and I do know some CSS but the host site doesn't work to well with it. First it doesn't know how to change what I have newly uploaded (I can only upload CSS because the host site doesn't know how to make CSS editable). Everytime I upload I need to change the file name, then go and change all the pages sorce code. Too much hassle.
3. I would like to get some flash on the site so, If any of you are good at flash please submit it here.
Thats all I got for now If I can think of anything else I'll updade you.

Hi TLGuy,
Think that's really weird about the css. I would start by getting that sorted out first. How are/were you calling your global stylesheet? This should work:
<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "./stylesheet.css";</style>
If you really can't fix it you could just keep putting it between the <head></head> tags.
Whichever way you go with the css, I think you need a bit of padding for the navigation container and the main content container. Just need to push it away from the edges.
The black header colour is OK but I would change the navigation background colour, maybe to a lighter blue? A lighter colour is needed because the dark green is a bit murky and clouds the nav links.
As for Flash, I haven't tried it but this one always makes me chuckle:

Hope this helps,

P.S. I liked the ATTIC joke. Will be using that one next time I'm down the pub.

Good to see the padding in place, but that dark green still makes it difficult to see the navigation links.

I see you've changed the background colour already. That's a lot better, but the links are still too dark. Try pasting this into your page's css and see what you think:
a:link { color:#6899CC; text-decoration: none; }
a:visited { color:#6899CC; text-decoration: none; }
a:hover { color:#FF0000; text-decoration: none; }
a:active { color:#FF0000; text-decoration: none; }
If that's not for you, just try experimenting with colours. You might not get it first time, but you'll get what you want in the end.

When you upload the css what error message do you get? Do you get an error message?
If all else fails, rather than renaming it on all of the pages just delete the current css and upload the new one.
ur site doesnt use consistant layout or consistant colours, thats the basic building blocks for a good looking site

When I delete the other css code, it delete's the old one, but still reads the old one, and not the new one.
I only changed the home page's layout and color to get what I like, then ill change the other pages.

You are or were using and external style sheet? I ask cos I dont see a link to one.
<style type="text/css">
a:link { color:#6899CC; text-decoration: none; }
a:visited { color:#6899CC; text-decoration: none; }
a:hover { color:#FF0000; text-decoration: none; }
a:active { color:#FF0000; text-decoration: none; }
</style> not much css
