[url]http://mriya.net46.net/[/url] I have almost no HTML experience and even smaller CSS experience, but this is my first website. For the record, I'm 15 and taking a graphic and web design class at my school. I'm currently a sophomore and I got most of my code from reading W3Schools tuts. But anyway, dont go easy, critique the shit outta my site.

Style's out of the head,there's no design whatsoever (everything is on a line and that's it), bad colour combination (dark blue vs black no thanks), using these [IMG]http://www.000webhost.com/images/80x15_powered.gif[/IMG] 1998 images, links section what the hell, /W/hat is this also, [code]body { background-color:#000000; } body {color:#00CC00;} h1 {color:#00CC00;} h2 {color:#00CC00;} h3 {color:#00CC00;} h4 {color:#00CC00;} h5 {color:#00CC00;} }[/code] ,back to home link being undistinguishable from any other link... And that's all I can come up off the top of my head at 3 AM.

I've taken out the 000webhost thing entirely and the deal behind the slashes is I'm mocking 4chan. I also commented out the "click play for a rave" thing also as its sort of pointless. Thanks for your feedback.

Shitty, an eyesore.

Why do you even add the fact you're 15 in the post? what is it supposed to mean?

[b]1)[/b] Your age means nothing. [b]2)[/b] No (good or noticeable) design whatsoever. Black, blue, and green absolute hex colours. Ugly layout. [b]3)[/b] Why don't you just use an external CSS file, instead of using <style></style> [b]4)[/b] You could shorten your CSS by just putting background-color and color inside of the body {} element. You don't need to individually attach the CSS to the HTML elements.

[QUOTE=Coffeee;43303222]It's idiots like you who make it so young people who aspire to make good websites, and do, aren't taken seriously. "Oh look at how young I am give me sympathy for my bad work"[/QUOTE] First off, I never asked for sympathy. Actually, if you read my whole post you would have seen at the bottom "But anyway, dont go easy, critique the shit outta my site." Secondly, I asked for critique on my site, not for you to sit here and make assumptions about me because I happened to include my age in my post. So give feedback or fuck off, because I'm trying to learn shit here.

Looks better. That's a lot of directories though. Also, you should have some sort of frame in the center that displays images, with the top of the element coming down from the navigation bar. [b]EDIT:[/b] just noticed the "cssmenu" compressed file. really???

[QUOTE=Yume;43311727]Dont worry, I just didnt build a menu and slap it on the site. I sort of used it as a framework and built upon it[/QUOTE] Making a very simple menu is easy enough, the usual approach would be making a list because you need a list of items and then make the list items float left, making them appear next to each other. After that style the links within the list items for hover effects or whatever. Done. [URL]http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_navbar.asp[/URL] <-- This will give the basic idea, I never used W3Schools though.

Also if you are to lazy to make your own css-menu just get one from here and edit it. [url]http://cssmenumaker.com/[/url]

If you're making a personal website to learn HTML and CSS to help you with your web design class at school (If you are doing this to learn, which I think you probably are) then don't bother downloading anything pre-built to learn from, as most of the time they will be compressed to a single line without comments or written for maximum browser compatibility making it a lot harder to understand what some parts are used for. The links which [B]Datzy[/B] posted are pretty much all you need to learn from, but when I first started learning how to make a webpage I basically just learnt all the basic tags first such as html, body, div, span etc (I can't remember where I learnt the tags from as it was several years ago but it was probably something like w3schools due to them being top for most google searches) I then planned a basic design to make and then just added the tags thinking of divs as being blocks and spans as text containers and adding classes to everything, naming them what the block would be used for "center_box", "block_header" then I basically just googled things like "css how to center div" or "css how to add space between divs" and eventually made a basic site design which I made notes of which I used again and again as I learnt new stuff. I did this a long time ago though and nowadays there's tons of website resources which have really easy to understand tutorials which explain a lot about the different elements. But yeah some of the ways I originally learn may have not been the best but you learn to understand what everything does. But this is just how I learnt personally and as I was young [I]13?[/I] at the time and didn't like reading long tutorials I thought it was a good way for me to learn the basics and might be a good way for you to learn too.

From what I can see. Thats just some random html slapped into a website. Its like you've copied it all from W3Schools (I know you mentioned you copied bits) but this is just a straight out copy. Theres no style at all. [code]<h5>Bitcoin address: 1H2tSyuYfGy7mMAJCnjivaTKi4fugHxttQ</h5>[/code] Why are you using headers for practically everything. The only HTML that you've had to write in that document is <h1> to <h5> and some <a href=""> tags. Theres no real html there or real structure at all. Try out [url]http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/web[/url] and learn some more. Not to be offensive but you have alot more to learn. Also, don't use your age as a excuse (Maybe you didn't but putting your age in the title is like saying "[b]Oh be soft on me im young[/b]". Age doesn't matter.

[QUOTE=BoowmanTech;43335920]How the fuck " 8 Years Experience. HTML/XML" You were 8 when you started learning that. Do you have a childhood ? I am not being mean because it's impressive but still wired.[/QUOTE] 8 years experience in a field is a nice thing, but there's a difference between experience and working professionally. I've been "writing" since the age of 4. but its only been recent that i've been published. Life Pro Tip: My advice is don't mention number of years experience and chances are you're going to get 1up'd by someone who's been doing it for less time than you. prospective clients and employers don't look at years of experience, but if you're able to present a wide and varied portfolio you might do better the guy who says he has 8 years with nothing to show for it.
