All I have to say is awesome. I'll be working on mine over the next couple of days, although I still might have some questions. I'm doing a bunch of searching on google right now to and coming up with all kinds of ideas too. I'll be posting back here with updates. Thanks again Sane.

I just took a look at it, and figured I could mention a few things. Your title should be changed on each page. It says homepage, products, services etc. But, if you want to do it "properly" and hit a little bit of SEO in there, then I would recommend you put in your company name, followed by a "-" dash and then "Products", or "Home" etc. I don't know if you have looked at your page in a bigger resolution, but your title background repeats, and on a bigger resolution, it kind of cuts off. Also, I agree with Saney about teh Nav. Don't make the font size change, especially if it's going to change your table size. Anyways, just a few things too look into. For your first shot at CSS layouts, I'd say your doing quite well. I remember what mine used to look like Keep it up, and you will have a good site in no time

1. If you can, you should get a shorter domain name.
2. Use one background for the whole page, or maybe a repeating gradient. But jumping from one color to the next "doesn't flow well."
3. Run your pages through Tidy. Most Web IDEs come with it.

Booooze: "-" isn't a real dash. Read about it on Wikipedia.

You mean, like it says, "common dashes, HYPHEN-MINUS"?

Thanks for the added info guys. Okay, one more question. This is drving my nuts, I just can't seem to figure this out. On the left side, where I want my navigation links, how do you get the box on the left side to start at the top say below a main header, and span down to the bottom of the page no matter how much content is on the page. This is what I mean, see the left side? How can I do that? I have been reading and reading and cannot figure it out . Again, thanks for tall the help.

I'm not exactly great at explaing CSS or handing out code, as sometimes I feel I'm doing trial and error myself:p. Also, I haven't done it in a while, but if I recall correctly, If you have your Nav inside a container, you should be able to do height:100%;

@ the rest of you - That's just stupid. Who the hell takes the time to right a document on "dahes"...lol

Okay, I used a container and it worked horizontally which I do not want. I'm trying to get it to work vertically and I'm having problems with it, any hints? Good god! :eek:

That's not easy to do without using tables for layout; there's no easy way to do it with CSS. If you're determined to do this, I recommend using a background image to make it appear that the sidebar extends all the way down the page.
