Use include files for your common elements, such as the menu. Also, put the menu after the content and do it all without CSS first, using correct, semantically correct markup - ie. make the content mean something. First thing, I come to the site and it says 'About Me' but I have no idea who you are (well, I do, but I might not) How about this? <h1>Paul Sutton's homepage</h1> <h2>About Me</h2> <p>Well, finally got around to updating my website...</p> <p>OK, firstly, apologies... etc</p> ---- Use <p></p> around paragraphs of text - you should find yourself not needing to do many <br /> tags. Go for an XHTML Strict DTD - you'll find it makes you write better code. Knock up some pages without CSS at all, with the navigation as a list below the content, and I will help you write a stylesheet that looks great. > any ideas.
