New website Bad Code? HELP!

[Jossy]

Hiya

I wonder whether anyone would be kind enough to assist? I am not completely new to the IT world but new to HTML. My partner is heavily into wargaming and has decided to prmote in depth his custom painting etc. I have created a website with theassistance of some page kits and some basics of java etc from my work.

I have a google adwords campaign set up and it seems to be working ok. I am concerned as to whether the site will actually be read by spiders or whether the code is a total mess. It just has been running for a month or more and yet nothing is picked up by the search engines.

THe only thing I see is my partners responses to some of his standard forums that he visits to assist other painters and gamers.

Am I completely off track with this website?

Any help would be great!!

I'm afraid I can't help as much with the search engine placement but I know more about the technical aspects of sites. The main thing I notice is the stray text above the image table in the main part of the page. The text is black on black so it only shows up if you highlight it. It's actually part of a tag for your forum button. If you go into the source and find the text that says 'onmouseout="button_off('guestbook'); return true" onmouseover="button_on('guestbook'); return true">' and move it into your image tag for the forum button (<img src="images/guestbook_off.gif" ...) that should fix it.
I apologize if I've told you anything you already know.

With your link in your signature, it will be picked up by the spiders in no time and you will be indexed soon enough.
