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>
<p style="margin:0% 33%"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://data.geo.yahoo.com/geo/v1?q=YHOO,CSCO,INTC,MSFT,GE,T&qn=Stock+Quotes&qu=USD&qg=1&hbc=FF0000&hfc=0000CC&hff=Arial&hfs=4&ibc=FFFF00&ifc=0000CC&iff=Times%20New%20Roman&ifs=3&udd=1&ufc=000000&uff=Arial&ufs=2&ts=1133258400">

Quote:mind you, you never know what pages will be fully validated, will we Patrick? ;)
What's up with that :D I can't believe it found so many errors ...
... hold on :
Image Syntax
Name Alternate Text Width Height Line # Suggestions
/templates/.../logo_left.gif 9 47 27 Set an ALT value.
/templates/.../logo_right.gif 9 47 35 Set an ALT value.
/templates/.../buttons_left1.gif 9 22 38 Set an ALT value.
/templates/.../buttons_left2.gif 12 22 41 Set an ALT value.
Come on , do I need to set an ALT tag to all images :roll: :lol:
Thanks for the link wabbit :D
Patrick :mrgreen:

I noticed wabbits finding a while ago and figured it was sloppy phpBB code to begin with. I tried briefly to see what standard they were attempting to adhere to and was unable to find a reference. If I recall correctly, except for the image tags, you will validate using HTML 4 Transitional. However, if you wanted to be current with XHTML strict, that would be a job... easy, but tedious. Then, once the next phpBB update came around, it would wipe out your code anyway. Why fight it?
Is anyone trying to load the forum on a mobile device... like a blackberry or cell? I can't recall anyone talking about it before. Interesting...
BTW, take it easy on my buddy K! He didn't say he was ready for the world to see it yet. Though my buddy Wabbit is correct in all of his review... wasn't that diplomatic of me?! LOL! The local ISP might offer you free web space... that's an excellent idea. Also, you could consider saving your files locally and loading them through the browser on your computer PRIOR to publishing them to the net. If you use a program such as Microsoft FP, it will spell check as you go. Many others will too. Keep in mind that what looks good to you might look like a funky mess to someone else. Hence, Wabbits comments about following a coding standard.
All-in-all... good start K! There's a ton of web development books out there. You might check a few out from your local library to get started. Then, tweak your code to comply with the XHTML standards.
My 0.02.

Ouch - that validation site is vicious! Shredded me too!
I prefer to live in ignorance on that one :) Too many other things to worry about!
