This is my first non-tabled CSS design. I'm by no means a professional designer or web developer, but I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. It's my personal site, btw....
http://www.dreesemonkey.com
I'm sure it doesn't validate, but I'm not overly concerned with that quite yet. I was hoping for some potential design advice and/or first impressions.
Thanks :)

Cool, I like it. It looks a little like a Dreamweaver template but overall I say it looks good.

design looks good, but you really should do something about the code, you were right, it doesn't validate, the validator doesn't even want to validate it -> http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.dreesemonkey.com/
why dont you have a title for your site

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'll look into getting the doc type/encoding/whatever right so it will validate. As for the title, it seems to work in FF, I haven't looked in IE? I just left it as dreesemonkey.com. I haven't thought of a clever and wity title yet ;)

The HTML is a terrible mess. Try this instead... And it validates...

award! The staff here is very excited on receiving the <i>Page

<br>
While dreesemonkey.com doesn’t currently have any
pornography, we believe that the pure animal sex appeal of Dan
Dreese is more than enough to be considered pornographic, so
we’re going with it. We plan on continuing onward and
upward with the prestige, honor, and poop jokes you have come to
know and love (or loathe).</p>

you’re not updating your website! Har har! I think
I’ve used that joke in every blog so far. Why stop now?<br>

lately, it’s hard to try and remember it all. While
it’s not surprising that I’m busy, it <i>is</i>
