Hello hunegnaw,

I viewed your site with Firefox, Opera, Netscape and IE at 1280x1024 so there's a lot of the background visible and I agree with MktgPro about toning it down a bit. Otherwise it's a good-looking and clear site. I also agree with MarciZoob about the colours which are just right apart from the brightest green (search box), on my screen.

The font size on your first page is fine but I don't understand why your navigation on subsequent pages should increase in size so much. In Firefox, Netscape and IE your first page appears central, in Opera it's aligned left.

There are anomalies in the source code that you should clean up. Your meta tags, form and sporadic page tags are in xml whereas your declared doctype is HTML 4.01 Transitional. Don't confuse the browsers. Convert everything to xml and all will be fine.

Your first page tagline is; 'Part time jobs, teen jobs, student jobs, teen jobs and hourly jobs!'

You want it to appear bold and you want people to be able to link from it. You know the search engines like H1, so you make H1 links (line 133-4). That's not valid html. In the inferior IE and Opera this line appears as you want it but in the compliant Firefox and Netscape the text reverts to your smaller font dictated by your stylesheet and you lose the bold effect. Browser checking is so important.

Equaly, H5 is not allowed within "p" (eg.line 170).

Check out http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...groovejob.com/ to see all 93 errors that your first page generates. Some of these are ALT tags which you should correct immediately as their absence discludes people with visual disabilities, who will also be looking for part-time work.

Many regards,

Tim
