Please Critique - 6/5/2008 15:05:52
I'm trying to teach myself web design. I am trying to keep my website simple. I'm not sure I'll understand all the technical terms, but I need all the critiques I can get. Thanks for your input, even if you think my site stinks.

Personally I don't like the shade of yellow in the main content area I find it a bit harsh.
Design-wise, I think that I'd have put all the ads ("friends" and google ads) in the right column and maybe had a list of the areas in the left hand column. It's just that it looks like one of those sites that's all about the ads otherwise (maybe it is?).
That Google search box is taking up a lot of room making the central content area really narrow (on a site that generates a scrollbar at 800px).
Code-wise - you've got some errors in there that aren't too difficult to fix, I'd do that just to make your life easier. Also you've got a lot of inline styling in your tags which will make site-maintenance a real pig. The whole point of CSS is that all of that stuff is in the stylesheet making your life easier when you need to change stuff.
You seem to have a lot of "position:relative" in your stylesheet. You should only use that when you're using "position: absolute" within that div (which I don't think you are). Also - remove the "overflow:auto" from your footer rule as you get scrollbars in Firefox.
In IE6 you get a white background for many of the content areas and in IE5.5 the right-hand column is wrapped.
