looks good, 3 things i see right off the bat.

1. your subpages jump to the left of where your homepage is (click d/l and then back, forward, you'll see it).
2. the character '>" between your pages usually represents a "trail" or "crumb" to show where you are (Like using a backslash in C:\Windows). using a pipe "|" for separation is a bit more standard like you did at the bottom (consistancy).
3. some links are underlined while others are not, (top links aren't, bottom are, the 'tips' are while 'o/l scanners' is not). go for consistancy, it appears much more professional

other than that it looks fine, the green scheme is cool, you're on your way,

another thing i just noticed is on your aspyware page it appears as though the underlines or whatever they're supposed to be are not inline with the text. on SpywareGuard it looks like you are crossing it out.

As far as I remember, I underlined the links on that page, and when I preview that page, all the links are underlined, I don't know if my computer is the problem. Go to that page again and tell me if the links are not underlined, because when I view the page here in my browser, the links are underlined.

Same to my reply above, on my browser, it looks fine, I attached an image of it on this post, just visit it again and just tell me what it looks like so I can edit it.

------
one question, as you can see the pages of my site, there's an excess space on the left part of each page, do you know how can I remove it?

Thanks for the comments drdrew1469! I appreciate it.

I think you remove the space using either:
<head> leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" </head> (I gather this is IE only, though)
or in css:
body {margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0;}
Does that help? I had the same problem and that fixed it for me.

Very sad to say, but it didn't work. I'm using FrontPage in creating my site, can I edit it there? Thanks!

When you say it didn't work, what do you mean? Did you type it into the source? You need a stylesheet for the CSS.

The leftmargin on your homepage is set to 18, the rest are set to 0. That's what you need to change.

DrP,
Oh I see, can you tell exactly what I need to do, because I don't understand these

<head> leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" </head> (I gather this is IE only, though)
or in css:
body {margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0;}

I'm sorry, just new to websites.

i'm using ie, so they may be some cross-browser inconsistancies.

what i said earlier about your pages "jumping" is what DrP hit right on the head. change this to 'leftMargin=0 on your homepage and you're all set on this. this is how it is now, the rest of your pages are leftMargin=0.

<BODY bgColor=#ffffff leftMargin=18
onload="MM_preloadImages

hth,

drew

Close Frontpage. Got to the folder containing the index.html (or whatever your homepage is) file and open in in notepad.
Press CTRL-F for the search and type in leftmargin (this should find the first instance of it). You will see this has a value of "18". Change it to "0". If you check the other pages you will find they are already at 0.
Any good?

No good. I already set it to 0 but no luck, and, isn't it the excess space is on the right? then why is it "leftmargin" ?

...but you've done it! Before you had a gap on the left hand side of the homepage. Now you don't. It looks much better when navigating now. If you want to remove the space on the right, you could try a liquid design (where you might express percentages for the width of the page) or try what I did:
I have the main part of the page held within the centre cell of a table and set the left and right cells to have a width of 50% each. The centre cell is fixed because of the content in it, but when I expand and shrink the browser window, it remains centred and the whitespace either side shrinks to fit.
