Hi pepmor! Welcome to TWF. We do ask that you review at least three other sites here in the critique section. Since you are new to html it will help your skills to review what others do and think about what you like and dislike about the work of others.

First of all, your home page looks sorta like a blog. But the title of the site is JcJgGraphics. Is your site a place to get graphics, or is it just a conglomeration of things? I think you should have a seperate page for your daily logs and on the home page put a paragraph or two telling what the site is about and maybe explain what your visitors can find on your site and why it would benifit them to hang around and see what you have to offer.

I would say not use the black background but since it seems to be just a personal site I guess that is ok. It seems so dark there though. just a personal preferrence of mine.

Logo needs some work and it should really be a gif instead of a jpg.

The blue bars at the top look out of place. I don't think I would use those. And the images (menusquare.jpg, menusquare1.jpg, menuside.jpg)that you have around your navigation looks like there are pieces missing.

You don't have a font face specified so I am seeing the default time new roman. I think it would look better if you used "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" or "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif".

You have class="back" in your code for your tables but there is no style sheet. **yes I looked at your html code even though you have that var message="Don`t steal it isn`t nice.What would your mommie think?" script** Those no right click scripts aren't going to deter anyone if they really want your stuff.

I found your style near the bottom of your code. You should put your css within the of your code.

Loose the "Your resolution is 800x600" and "Site is optimized for Internet Explorer 5x with 1024x768".

You have quiet a few spelling mistakes. (finnaly, giveing, beleived, worng, just to name a few)

Put a space after a period at the end of your sentences. I have my bad moments at spelling and grammar too and it helps to have someone look over it for you. You can do a spell check if you have a word processor like Microsoft Word. It will catch most of your spelling mistakes.

Well, I think that is enough for you to work on for now. I have other suggestions but I don't want to overwhem you all at once.

By the way, not bad for someone just starting out. Smiling

Welcome aboard,

I agree with everything that Sonia said, it's a good start for a beginner on their personal site, too dark for my personal taste. There really isn't anything on the site that shouldn't work for any resolution, you just need to make the middle blue block under your logo stretch in proportion as at 1152x864 the is a larger gap on the left than the right, but other than that everything looks ok.

Do you really need a guestbook when you have the forum?

Are the graphics your own work?

Did you take the site down or something? All I'm getting is a (empty) directory tree.
