Recently (yesterday) I found this website with all its dhtml splendor. I added a few things to my website. I may scrap my website and rebuild using some of the scripts here. I currently use a sitebuilder from freeservers which is like cheating. my question is: How hard is html code to use for a complete site makeover? And also: what should I put on my website to make people want to visit it? thank you so very much.

Most of these guys can build pages with their eyes closed, I on the other hand use a very simply html editor called “Coffee Cup HTML Editor” that you can download and use for free at http://www.coffeecup.com and of course it works beautifully.

As for content, well I like videos so I usually find myself looking for those. Fresh content is also a must.

By the way, what kind of site are you running?

Take care…

I definitely recommend editing the HTML by hand.

Ouch! That was a pretty long page. Thankfully the errors are minor so I can live with it. Maybe I’ll go over it again someday and fix those errors. As it turns out, that validator could come in pretty handy! Thanks for sharing.

There's no such thing as a minor error. If the validator throws an error about something, it's because that thing isn't correct HTML -- in other words, you're relying on the browser's error-correcting to even display your site. A strict (or simple) parser will simply sneer at you :)
