My first major redesign

  • I’ve just completed my first major redesign, and I’m reasonably pleased with the results.
    You can read more details about what I did in this posting.
    Many thanks to the many folks who provided assistance through their blogsites and contributions to this support forum.

    Also some unclosed br and hr elements (which you really shouldn’t be using at all as these things can be done in CSS). Also I see some things that want to be headings and paragraphs but aren’t marked up as such.

    Well, God bless in your quest for knowledge! If I can help in any way, drop me a note, and while you’re there, have a look at my site and the blogs I have on my blogroll, most of them are xhtml/css related. There are also some helpful people on the Mozillazine and Sitepoint forums.
