Well, its simple enough. I would get rid of the blue line under "About". I would also recommend validating your code. Otherwise, it's good for your first ever coding attempt BP
If you've built all that I see, you already generally know how to code. There are some things I would do differently (doctype at the top being #1) or this: <div id="header"><h1><img src="images/general/logo.gif" width="236" height="36" alt="Enlighten Designs" border="0" /></h1></div> You don't have to have that in a div, but the problem is that you're relying on the image to tell people the words. Keep in mind how the site seems with images and CSS off. The site doesn't still have to be pretty, but it does have to function. A gilder-levy image-replacement technique can do this (http://www.mezzoblue.com/tests/revised-image-replacement/). The border="0" can be taken care of in the CSS: img { border: none; } I would tell you to look around at web accessibility sites, where you learn tricks and tips for all sorts of browsers including Lynx and screen readers (as well as, more and more in the future, mobile phones and PDAs). http://www.section508.gov/ or http://www.webstandards.org/learn/tutorials/accessible-forms/beginner/ (look at the top and you'll see a link that's pretty much only there for accessibility reasons). You can also hang around Site Point or here and there's a group of Crusty Old Guys always harping on clean code, accessibility, and showing various ways of coding so that if you come across browser issues, you can find the nicest way around them without hacks or extra stylesheets. I agree with blue about the blue line. It seems okay when you're on the About page but anywhere else, it looks out of place... though maybe if that was Home, it wouldn't be so bad... cause everyone wants to go back home : )
