I would -

1) add some images to give it a bit more depth
2) Read here about being able to change font size http://developers.evrsoft.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=14444#post14444
3) Turn off bold if that is waht you are using.
4) add some hover effects to the menu.

Good luck.

What do you mean with "being able to change font size"?
How would a CSS line with a hover effect look?
A:hover.meny { color: green }?

Um, spartan? I'm not sure there is really enough here for me to critique. Is there something specific you want us to look at?

The home page boxes do not align along the top (ie6 win xp pro)

In IE under the menu item View/Text Size you can change how big the text is - you can also do it under other browsers as well. Its called making your web site accessible for people with possibly disabilities, like bad eyesite.

Yes you are close with your hover code. - go here and do the html and CSS tutorials - http://www.w3schools.com/

MikeParent:
The colors, the layout, and the code.
I would love to remove any errors before putting any content on the page. That align-thing happens to me in Opera as well. I can't figure it out. It happened when I started using SSI.

Yes and No. If the developer uses translational font sizes then yes, but if they use a fixed font size then no.

All browsers have a default font size, for example IE's is about 16px, and I think Moz is 14px, but for all purposes they are translational sizes and based on what the user has set the default in their browser. In IE you can do that in the menu as mentioned previously. The medium text is the 16px default.

But if you use a fixed font size like 12px then you have fixed it to 12 px and that is that. The Browser can not adjust it based on the users requirements

Translational sizes are 'em' or '%'

for example 1em = 100% so

font-size: 1em; is the same as font-size: 100%; and if the view text size in IE is medium then font size would be 16px

font-size: .8em; = font-size: 80%; = 12px (rounded to nearest normal font size I think) if medium is selected in their browser.

font-size: 1.2em; = font-size: 120%; = 20px (rounded to nearest normal font size I think) if medium is selected.

If the developer uses translational font sizes, then the viewer has the ability to control (to a certain extent) the font size they are viewing by changing the default in their browser.

Now it can get messy when using translational font sizes, but as long as you understand inheritence (child inherits parents attributes) then you will be ok

For example if I have a default font size of 16px for the BODY and give a DIV a font-size: .8em; (ie 12px), then give a PARAGRAPH within that DIV a font-size: .8em; the fontsize for the PARAGRAPH would be 10px as it is .8 of the 12px that the parent DIV has.

Hope all that helps.
