My site - Some feedback please...

[netstrider]

Ok guys I'm kind of new (not totally) to web designing and just finished my page about CSS,HTML,XHTML,PHP and Photoshop tutorials. There is only two HTML tutorials available at the moment as I'm still working on the others so I can add them later.

I'm posting this here so I can get some feedback and you are welcome to contact me if you are willing to help me with some tutorials or anything else. Also, it will be greatly appreciated if I could get some members at my forum if it aint too much to ask

not bad clean layout easy to read for the most part it dosen't
mind the fonts being enlarged untill the veary bottem
there lots of GPL tutorials around that you could offer
( if the point is getting tutorials posted and not just custom tutorials )
I'll find them for you just tell me what you want
there are lots of mini tutorials laing around web sites like this
you could ask the member who wrote them if thay would mind if you posted them
(I doubt thay would mind )

Thanks, I'll have a look around. The two turorials there is I wrote myself and I'm having some more written for me by some friends. It's mostly our little project so we don't take too many other people's tutorials but mostly our own unique ones. Though, I suppose we might add some others

That looks pretty sharp. Just a couple of things stand out as problems to me:
1. Grammar. I know, I'm a grammar nazi, but it can make the difference between a really polished-looking site and one that looks like Joe Snuffy's "Hello World!" page.
2. On my wide-screen monitor, about a quarter of the browser window (on the right side) is blank. I don't know how it's done, but places like AnandTech have an option to stretch the content to fit the browser's width. That might be worth looking at.

Otherwise, it's a great-looking site.

It looks good to me. I notice the code is xhtml transitional. Have you verified that on the WWW3 site?

This may be heresy, but I read something over the weekend that I think I agree with. Having code which checks out is probably less important than having good content. People get bogged down in details when it comes to coding ...

Following up on Zelmo: i'd say you might want to look at 'static width and centered' layouts: http://www.glish.com/css/3.asp

Also: i'd try and get a bit of space between pictures and text:

I'd use css for that.

Nice page!

I think the way it works to to avoid setting absolute widths in pixels: the px option. If you are setting a width or height maybe it's better to specify it as a percentage. Eg:

<table width="100%">

Absolute dimensions might not render well across different browsers. Just my 2 pence worth.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Yes I've had problems with the layout especially on Firefox and with absolute positioning. I am trying to make a new site at the moment using tables as the base of the layout instead of CSS. This will be my first major experience with tables.

For now I'll leave the site as it is but will definately take your comments into consideration when recreating the current site I'm busy with.
