Check out my new website design. The address is http://www.ksprog.net/temp/ Some of the links are not up yet. Let me know what you think.

This should go into Review My Site not here.

I recommend trying to make greater use of CSS to create a website design rather than use tables. Avoiding pure table layouts makes your website look 'modern'.

The blue menu on top looks a bit misaligned because the link to C PROGRAMMING is right next to the end of the bar with space on the other end of the bar.

Hello Kevin,

Not bad for a first attempt, having seen far worse up for review here and elsewhere. One day you will look back on this and cringe as I do when I revisit the older sections of my own porttfolio.

As you have no doubt discovered, designing and building a web page is not quite as simple as it first appears but you are half way there but needs some artistic polish and coding tricks(optional).

Useful links:

httP://browsershots.org/ - for both inspiration and testing how others see your website

Remember! resize images before shoe-horning them into a web page
781px × 1,449px (scaled to 235px × 330px) 234.28 kB (239,898 bytes)

It's a classic first timers mistake many fall victim to it when using some of the simpler / cheaper web site building tools so don't feel bad.

The menu has redundant elements that do not need repeating, we gather that your into programming.

Plus 'Programming' is a long word and this can play havoc with horizontal menus, especially when the page CSS is designed to be fluid and stretch to fit.

So try this instead...

I have a comment and a good example of how you misused design to make things worse but I'm afraid you would be offended with it so I'll skip it

On the other hand what I can say is that it's too simple and on my 1680x1050 tit looks ... well ... empty.

Thank you for the useful links. I am using the cssmenubuilder sites to build my menus.
