Well hey yall I'm back this is Shyanna and I have updated my site greatly. I have fixed alot of stuff but I know there are still alot of errors, but I don't know how to fix all of them like the validation errors. But hey I'm just 15, and I'm trying the best I can. But please review my site at http://shawtyshygurl.tripod.com. Thanks for your concern and hekp, it is appreciated.

A popup tries to install software on my computer at your site - doubtless from tripod - but it means I closed the site. Sorry.

It's alright I don't know what it was cuz that's a first. You only need a Java player or shockwave to play the games.

I didn't get the popup myself, which almost certainly means it's from Tripod; if I got it too, I'd be able to find it in the code and it would probably be consistent. If it's random behaviour, it's advertiser behaviour and that's the good people at Tripod.

Anyway, I will say this...for 15, it's not bad. For a lot of adults and even some professionals in this industry, it's not bad.

It's easy to navigate and the site looks relatively consistent throughout (although I would pick a default font and stick with it for the body).

My big issue with the site are those weird lines for the background. They don't really look right...they just look like random weird lines.

Another suggestion: learn Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). CSS will let you define fonts and layout styles for your HTML pages, keeping the style separate from the content and thus making it a buttload easier to maintain.

www.w3schools.com has a tutorial on CSS somewhere that you can learn and mess around with, or you may also want to try www.lissaexplains.com (it's a teenager's way of explaining HTML and CSS to other teenagers and immature adults.)

Thanks Adam your help is greatly appreciated. I tried my hardest and I wanted to make a site of my own. Yea the pop-ups are from Tripod since it is a free website. The lines I guess they are from the look or theme for that particular layout. But do you think I should use one font and size for my whole website or just the entire homepage?
