Konrad,
Congratulations on your first efforts to build a website, however I have some feedback, I hope you don't take it personally, but I will be direct and to the point.
1. Visit the site hosted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) who dictate what web browsers should do with mark up text. They have a defined set of rules for web pages, and offer a validation service for web authors to ensure they meet the 'required' standards. Your web page (created by the Yahoo Page Builder and the Geocities mangling) has 78 errors! See:
www.geocities.com%2Fctnbpl2003%2Findex.html%3F1133239178359">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2F
www.geocities.com%2Fctnbpl2003%2Findex.html%3F1133239178359rofessional has only one 'f'. Run a spell checker over your site.
4. You have a broken link at the bottom - left of the page.
5. Use graphics sparingly. Dont add graphics to a web page just to fill in space. Graphics must serve a purpose. Remember there are still a lot of people out there who use very slow modems to connect to the net, and who have limited downloads, so these people will not sit around all day waiting for a picture to load unless the picture is VERY important to the function of the site.
6. Endeavour to learn to create web pages using text editors instead of WYSIWYG programs. Your code will be neater and faster to download. Learn to use stylesheets (CSS) at the same time as you are learning HTML.
If you want more some help, just ask.
Try something more along the lines of:
[code:1:a699406b94]<html>
<head>
<title>index</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: black; color:white}
:link {color: lightblue}
:visited {color: red}
p.header{font-size:xx-large}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="header"><img height="81" width="135" src="http://www.geocities.com/clipart/pbi/pictures/Animals/angbizon.gif" border="0">Welcome to my MetaStock web site</p>
