OK, so a LONG time ago I made a freewebs site and I was happy with that for a while, well pretty much up until about a month ago. I finally got dreamweaver and I started playing around with that and got pretty good with it.
So this site is very lightweight, not a lot to it, very fast loading (on cable, not sure about dial up though I tried to optimize all flash to load quickly on dial up with Macromedia Flash 8) All images and flash are done by me. Aside from the CSS I did everything from scratch in dreamweaver. And lastly I spent about 2 hours last week debugging every one of my pages so they would ALL pass W3C XHTML validation.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, though hints are preferred to outright critisism
Site link is right below in the linked text. LazyCode

Not bad for an amateur site. Not bad at all.
Some of the flash is redundant, like the shape tweening
but hey if you want it why not. Flash is great.
Layout is kinda average, could be cleaner.
Not to keen on the background colour, white preferred.
Your source code (c/c++) would benefit from proper indentation and alignment.
Also having key words highlighted would improve readability. That's not as hard as it sound. Most c/c++ ides have an export to html option now.
Also a few no nos, like
Overall not bad.

#include math.h when it should be #include <cmath> for c++ and using system pause but that's just me being pedantic
Overall not bad.

What do you mean my cleaner?
Yeah I was thinking about that but the source link is the actual cpp file so all you have to do is download it. and I've since learned to use cin.get and the background color is because of the flash menu. I accidentally deleted the .fla file and I can't edit it anymore so I had to build the background around it.
Thank you for your tips anyway and I might export all of them to html I used to have it on my old site but it made it harder to download the file then just right clicking and saving.

OK, since the last update I've changed a lot of stuff. One being my much better use of whitespace on the homepage by adding an RSS feed viewer from slashdot.
This is to Iamthewee, I removed the flash logo and replaced it with a static version, it looks good both ways but I think I actually am leaning towards the static view. I am also in the process of exporting all the code on the site to color coded html files with Dev-C++.
I signed up for AdSense and in the first day I earned enough to pay for two months of hosting (without using shady methods).
I changed the logo, and the biggest thing is my planned change. Which I'll describe here:

I'm currently in my Database Development class and for a final project I am designing a database which will have programmers register and they can upload their programs. Companies can also sign up and will be allowed to bid on programmers for their services. If programmers decide to do so they can sell their programs.Tell me what you think about the new additions and the database idea. I always love the replies and the criticism (constructive or otherwise).
