Background has got to go, sorry. Looks very bad IMO.

For your images
Code: 
<a href="URL" target="_blank"><img src="blah blah blah"></a>
will make the images pop up on a different page. it can be semi-annoying to have to backclick, I'd rather just like to X out.

:)

i don't think the background would look that bad if it was one solid pic instead of one little pic tiled across the whole background... waiting for my pics to upload to my page so i can get on...

I usually hate borders around images that are links. You can get rid of this with:
Code: 
<img src="..." [B]border="0"[/B] />

I also agree that the tiled carbon fiber background stuff is pretty cheesy. It's a good start though.

Tanya, he's using XHTML, and since this is for a web-development class, I'm going to assume they're going to want it to be valid XHTML.

The target attribute is deprecated in XHTML. There are ways to get around it of course, you'd have to use the DOM (Javascript) to get it to work though, but it's still pretty simple.

As for image borders swaq, I can't recall if the border attribute is still in XHTML or not, but regardless, it should be done with a stylesheet, as it is a presentational change.

Also, there were no 1995 Ferrari 348's, the 355 replaced the 348 in 1994 as a 1995 model IIRC.

Yeah, CSS would definitely be better. I didn't look close enough to see whether he was using CSS.

Only the 348 Spider was made in 1995, I believe. *gets out his Illustrated Ferrari Buyer's Guide*

Ferrari 348:
348tb and ts 1989-1994
348 Speciale 1992-1993
348 Spider 1993-1995

The F355 was introduced in 1994.

You can find 1995 Ferrari 348 Spiders on AutoTrader as well. (8 are on there right now)

At Oregon State University you are given web space and if you were to take a web design course you would be expected to use that.

Problems with Geocities (these apply to the "free" package, except for the last bullet point):
  • Advertisements
  • Lame URL (but hey, it used to be worse back when I got into web design)
  • Low monthly bandwidth and disk space
  • No support for anything useful, like PHP or MySql
  • No FTP :aigo: Wow, the free package used to let you do this, I guess they cut it to try and force people to upgrade to a paid package... :3d_frown:
  • No linking to your files remotely (i.e. you can't host a picture there and then display it elsewhere, like on SM)
  • For all their paid packages you can get much much better deals elsewhere, IX Webhosting for example.
Those are the most obvious disadvantages. Everyone starts somewhere though. My first website was on Geocities back before they merged with Yahoo.

Uh, I didn't use a template if that's what you mean, I typed it all out on note pad then uploaded it on geocities. This is just basic web page design, I just had to make a web site out of the stuff I learned. I was gonna use freewebs, but I already had a yahoo account so I went with that. I'm not trying to sell anything, just putting the skills I learned in MIT together.
