My First php Site

Hi all,
I have been learning php for about 2 weeks now while developing my new site. It's still pretty early days but if you knowledgable folks could take a look and provide some feedback I would very much appreciate that.

The site is http://in4matrix.co.uk

Its a news article and website sharing portal with user interaction.

Thanks
Sanjay

 

are you trying to copy digg ?
the concept is the same and the small parts of the design look like digg`s

 

Doesn't work well, mostly ads, uses tables for design, infringes digg copyright, fonts do not match.

 

hey sajayc, well all begings are hard, first of all your main problem is aligment, get some clear bordors on your page, and it will help alot. allso maby you have to be a little more targetet, with youre content, it looks like you just stuffed all you could get your hands on in to this website.

 

Tell me about it being hard, I think that because users are defaulting to the index page where all topics are shown it may seem like there is no theme. I do have some categories in the menu but you're right if people don't like it first glance then they will not come back.

Also does anyone know what I can use to replace tables in my code? I heard that css would do it but I have no idea how that would work, I thought css was for formatting text.
