Your number one source for computer priovacy and Spyware info.
Typo?

Although the design looks techy and fits the purpose of the site, I don't really like it. There's just something not right about it...

Your content text is centered, have it justified or left aligned.

The text on the site is also too small, make it bigger.

very informative site, but I didn't like the layout

Oooooh, ouch!
Hehehe, you were saying that you had more to learn...And I thought that design was a little too good for a beginner!

Anyways, I'm sure we've all attempted to make designs based upon stuff we've seen on the web (not everyone's taken code directly though), my advice is start from the start rather than try to use what other people have done. Get a book, go on a course - learn the subject from the ground-up...We'll be here to help all the way!

i did get a meta tag generator after i couldnt resolve the issues with what i had, and yes i am adding the "" into my images and before and after the #FFFFFF. i had no ideas that they mattered. or that i needed to add a ALT choice for my images inces they cant be seen. WOW i have been stunned for 7 days, i have more respect for you guys now then i did before. i have ALOT to learn.

I think you've got a really good start here. The overall layout is nice looking and well put together. The curves add a lot of interest and most importantly, they're done consistently throughout. Youv'e got a good colour scheme and consistent use of it. You do need a good logo though (as mentioned) - it might be a good idea to hire someone to design one for you. If that's not an option the easiest thing to do is to find a unique font and use it to make a graphic of your site title. You could also add a little piece of clip-art or a dingbat to spice it up. It might be a good idea in your case to use a contrasting colour in your logo, just to draw some attention to it and provide contrast.

One thing I"m not sure about here is the flash. It's very low contrast and IMO not very interesting. I would replace that with a row of stock photos.

Another thing that seems to need work here is your navbars. There are three here, (two at the top, repeated at the bottom, plus the left side). What I'm confused about is why some elements repeat on the left and lower top menu, but some don't. Also make sure that the font sizes on the left side are all the same.

Overall a good start - just needs a few small refinements

Where did you come up with those meta tags? It looks like you are using some sort of generator. Do your meta tags like so and see if that fixes that error you have with your tag:

your title here

Make sure that anytime you use a width and height for an image that is it formatted with the "" around the value.
---> width="100" height="50"
And these too --> leftMargin="0" and border="0"

You are getting there.

That did help

i removed the vlink ETC in the body and the forwards in my metas as well as added text to my images. it cleared up a bunch of things.Thank you alot.

disaster-master — Tue, 20 May 2003 00:53:00 +0000

Here is a small list of things that need changing as per the validator:

Your meta tags have a "/" at the end of them. Remove that. The slash is for sites with the XHTML Doctype. You are using the HTML Doctype.
For example, change
http://www.netcorridor.com"/>
to
http://www.netcorridor.com">

In the body tag, take out what I have bolded.
vLink="#000000" aLink="#000000" link="#000000" text="#000000">

On the errors where you see, "required attribute "ALT" not specified", make sure you add either
alt="place your alt text here"
or if you don't want alt text to show up put
alt="" with no text.

That surely won't get rid of all your errors but it's a start.

The new layout

The glossary is temporary. I am using everyones suggestions and trying to brighten it up some and i have to redo the pages into CSS style i think thats the correct term. i tried to use a web validator at WC3 and it gave me 51 errors. a few i have no clue on. My meta tags were and are still wrong because i have not the first clue as how to fix them. Thank you again for looking and i think i shall have the site almost done in 2 days..
