Not sure about the background (but I can tell you that V has his default background set to light blue specifically to catch people who forget to set their background colors). As for "code within the html tags," I believe he's referring to the fact that your html tags seem to fall in the middle of your page. On the splash page, for example, you begin your first div before opening your html tag, and then you close the html tag later on. All of your tags should be nested (in other words, if you open tag A then tag B, you need to close tag B before you close tag A). Indenting your code can help you keep track of nesting. As for my comments, well, I also happen to have a severe allergic reaction to useless splash pages. This is, though, ultimately a personal choice. I would vote against it, but if you like it that's your call. I also noticed that, even after I click through the splash page, there is nothing on your front page except that "seasons greetings" image. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but you really want the content as close to the surface of your page as possible. As it is, I have to click twice to actually see anything. V also has a very good point about the menu, but I want to get into more specifics about why the menu isn't apparent. First of all, it's at the bottom of the page (a mistake I made in my own site, but it was worse because the menu was "below the fold"). Second of all, it's not distinguished from the regular text in any way. Not only is it the same font and size as the main text, but the links are the same color as the body text (this in itself is a very bad design choice, by the way, since the user can't tell what the links are until he/she accidentally mouses over them). This is compounded by the fact that you have a line of orange text up at the top (which, incidentally is what you have set as your hover color) that is [b]not[/b] a link. It is generally a good idea to make sure that the colors you use for your links (main color, hover color, active color, visited color) are [b]only[/b] used for that purpose. In other words, if your links are red, don't go putting in red text that is not a link. This was only confuse the user, and that is generally considered a Bad Thing™ (unless you're Nimraw, of course). Another thing about the menu is something that I consider to be one of my pet peeves: the fact that you can click on the link that leads to the current page. In other words, when I'm on the home page, I shouldn't be able to click on the home link. This is another thing that may confuse the user, and thus is a Bad Thing™. I would also recommend setting your font sizes using relative values. You don't really have any space constraints, so you don't really have a reason for not giving the user control over font sizes. Unless it's going to break your design, giving the user control over font sizes is a Good Thing™. I guess that's about it for now. Keep up the good work, and if you have any questions, feel free to fire away (woo-hoo, alliteration, baby! Sorry, weird mood...)
