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/

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...

<br>
While dreesemonkey.com doesn&rsquo;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&rsquo;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>

it&rsquo;s not surprising that I&rsquo;m busy, it <i>is</i>
