Michael I'll give you 10 out of 10 for effort but some of us just don't have the knack of web design including myself - try this site , its open source web design templates, fully validated and CSS driven ready to download and populate with your own data once you find a design that suits.

If anything it'll give you experience in layout design there's also the option of having your site as a Wordpress Blog or Joomla CMS theme that have a modern look and feel.

The text is too large and the page seems too "Bulky".


is your name really Michael Ying Yang Wang?

Haha thanks guys, but Paul, it's okay that my designs are bad, I'm just turned 15 so it's a long way down the road before I'll be able to satisfy myself, it's a process of learning so it'd be much more helpful if you could point out how I can improve on my design. (Especially the second one)

And yes that is my name jmurrayhead.

I will look into anti-hacking asap!

Thanks again.
Michael

wow, try saying that three times fast

lol, oh my JMH no tact

Hi!
Sorry for reviving this old post, I worked on my site occassionally and after what seems like a century, the new layout I was talking about ealier got more developed and now has completely replaced the old one.

Can anyone please give some extra comments again for me to improve on it? I won't be able to tackle my site much when schools starts.

The layout doesn't validate: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...=Inline&group=0

and you don't even have a Doc type. I think the layout is too big and bulky, and the text is definitely too big. It is, however, and improvement since the last time I saw it.
