Hey, I'm setting up a new page for my college's radio station and wanted some advice on where to take it. It is one of my first projects and I can already tell that it needs alot of work, so please be brutally honest and give me some tips. The links are not working, just the main page is up right now.

i'd tone down the font size on the menu links, it's a bit gnarly @ 800x600, and scrolls off the screen. same for the right hand side, assuming they're going to be links too?

You might want to consider using fixed widths in your tables instead of relative values. On my browser, there's some undesirable text-wrapping.

I would control font styles and sizes (in px) through classes using the stylesheet. And, as has been noted, you should perhaps make the text generally a bit smaller.

Also, you might want to use a lighter color for the links on the dark background. It looks all right now for me, but on some screens or at smaller sizes it might be harder to read without more contrast.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the advice. I can see exactly what you mean with the font size. I actually think the best solution would be to use images rather then fonts, so I might try that out.

I love your website color. It's easy on eyes.

I'm not sure about '1' border. In each browsers, it'll look different, some will look pretty and some ugly.

Maybe you could turn it off or use your own image border but it will be more works.

I agree with philzilla about the text size. The top bar text size is little too big. Maybe you could use CSS instead?
