Ok I need some (lots) of help with my site htmltutorial.hostrocket.com

Note that I just started it a week ago and still have lots of content to add to it. Nothing has been done on the CSS tutorial so that's why the links are broken.

I'm not sure if having the headers red on the left, and blue in the center. Suggestion on those colors would be nice. Also, would it be a good idea to get a logo? I liked the sort of simple aspect of having the logo as a text header.

My HTML tutorial is somewhat short because I didn't really want to bore someone just starting out. I tried to include what basically everyone uses in it. In the extras section (under construction) I will try to cover things not included in the main tutorial.

And finally a concern is whether I will be listed on any search engines since my site is a free site.

Thanks

I probably shouldn't comment on your site as I have one with the same topic.
I don't see any red and blue headers, I only see grey and white on mozilla firebird. What you have now likes kinda good, has that textbook style/feel which is great for a tutorial site.
A logo can be a text header but a bit of colour or flair always helps.
Your free site hosting wont help your cause any, people would rather visit a domain named site than a free site, as most free sites have advertising of some sort (and cookies galore)

Just a tip on writing tutorials, be sure to teach the proper way, not the short method, ie: images, teach people to use width, height and alt tags because if you don't teach them that way now, when they go to learn XHTML they will struggle with the simple things, some even struggle using lowercase tag names.

Good luck

Thank you for the reply.

So the "summary" in the center doesn't appear blue? Did I blotch up my code or something?

h2
{
font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans serif;
font-size: 16;
color: #000077;
font-weight: bold;
}

Summary

My question about search engines was basically whether a search engine like google would even index my site, since it is a subdomain of a free host?
