Celtics Insider


This is my first site, and I need some constructive criticism.

Our online validator reports markup errors:
http://htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.cgi?u...mp;warnings=yes

Most of them look pretty simple (mixing XHTML into an HTML document, typos, missing ALT text, ampersands in URLs that need to be escaped), but then the validator reports "The maximum number of errors was reached. Further errors in the document have not been reported." so there may be more.

Don't use px for font sizes. Instead, use 100% for body text, larger percentages for headings and the like, and (slightly) smaller percentages for legalese and similar fine print.

Well, I'm currently working on a new site now with a better hosting service. Webs didn't provide the necessary services.

They won't correct your HTML for you.

I'm not going to use any custom HTML with this new site.

Lots of stuff, and lots of free, instantly-ready scripts. I still don't know all the ins and outs, but I know this is by FAR the best I've ever seen. Also found a GREAT free Wordpress template that is very customizable, and it's ESPN-like, which is what I'm looking for.

Well Wordpress has plugins, so while you DO use HTML and stuff, it's not HTML I wrote wink.gif
