I would like it if people would give me a review on my site; however if the only review you can give is "that sucks dude!" or something that may be flaming don't post.

Here is my site www.zudaswebdesigns.com I am working on making all the categories in the navigation bar available but it will take time. Right now the only thing that is available is the "myspace goodies" section.

Incoherent thought as it occurred after looking at your main page

black backgrounds dont work well
examine the most hit sites on the web
google, myspace, msn, yahoo, your favorite tv-network
and the color choices are similar
has to do with eye acuity and how we all see, as much as esthetics

big blank spaces. You think its layout, I think I'm p'd off having to scroll to see all that should fit on one screen page
'web design' using tables for layout.. not good
develop the same thing in css,
no absolute font sizes,
if you set a font that overrides my font I leave. my basefonts are set so I can read with bad eyes
12pt is for printers not screens,
no fixed pixel sizes except <img>
ems %ages for all other elements.
no large borders margins padding
use the whole screen.

separate stylesheets for media
@media screen {}
@media print {}
@media handheld {}
in an external stylesheet at the least

all your customers have a different screen resolution to the system you developed the site on, what looks good for you, does not look good for anybody else,
design your site so it looks good in a number of browsers, get firefox IE Safari(win) maxthon opera, or punch your url into browsershots.com to see what it looks like
main of 1000 plus margins and padding creates a scroll bar on non-maximised browser.

keeping current is important when you want to sell your skills, your customers know just enough to 'view source' and decide whether your page is in keeping with the CNet newsletter that they get each week.

This is a link to a site to help you test (view screenshots) of your site in multiple browsers:

http://browsershots.org/

If I remember correctly, you submit a URL and after about 30 minutes you get screenshots for the selected browsers.

Thank you both; I will redo the site so that the ads do not make you scroll (i didn;t know that without the browsershot site!) and I will make it so that you can pick your own layout for the site via css. I will fix the pixel problem; I usually use point instead of EMS if you know why ems is better tell me please.

setting dimensions in relative sizes means the page automatically adjusts to resizing,
does not require being full screen to avoid horizontal scroll bars
looks very similar on different browsers
different screen resolutions
different rendering engines
means that persons using screen settings to improve accessibility, can see your site. for a visually impaired person 12px 12pt is invisible grey blob.
you get a good looking & accessible page without doing any extra work to get it.

browsershots is a great resource
but is not always fast
there are thumbdrive portable versions (noinstall no takeover your browser) of firefox opera safari maxthon avant. that you can instal in a sandbox on your pc to get fast views of your site in other browsers than IE.
If you put them on a thumbdrive you can take them to customers to demonstrate why your ideas work, and what the previous designer did wrong. great to quick test anything before it goes live.

Did not check for any server side includes php asp in your page, but be aware of the abilities of server scripting to make your life easier, much of what is tedious to retype on 300pages can be done with a single include filename; statement

thank you, been a while & i messed up the uri

thank you almostbob and everyone else. I have redesigned the site and the only problem I am having is with ad positioning so I am removing the ads for now. I have reconfigured the site layout so it is cross browser friendly and you don't have to scroll!

If you are learning CSS, this site has some information (and a few templates). It is a little older (as far as CSS goes, but it offers a lot of information for positioning and fixed or dynamic sizing.
