Those are font tags (sidenote: great example of horrible code made by Dreamweaver)

I really don't know. I am using dreamweaver. I try to find out.

How are you defining your fonts (i.e., in pixels, points, em's, etc.)? I believe Explorer has issues with some of these font definitions (all except for pixels), so that could be a potential problem. I haven't looked at your code yet to see how you defined fonts, or if you used CSS to define them yet, though.

Please review some other sites in this forum, as requested above.

I'd also started designing the frontend to PHP Chess, and funnily enough, I was going for a very similar look to your site there -- particularly the title/header area. Hrm, coincidence happens.

Anyway, your site generally looks good. Just needs some refinements

- add more padding to your text areas. They're all up against the edge.

- too much bold text everywhere. Use it to highlight only important bits, not every message on screen.

- use fonts consistently. I see some text is Serif, others Sans.

- have a consistent layout -- the footer is different on various pages.

That's all I can think of briefly.

Great Minds think a like:) Thanks for looking at my site. Did you view it in netscape or explorer? Explorer seems to have problems with the design? I am having trouble with the font when viewed in explorer it appears to large. I can't fiqure it out. I will work on the footer.

Thanks
