Re: Team 1504's Website--Critiques Requested!

You've made a good-looking, simplistic site. It looks as though you're on the way to adding more content, which is great. I have a few pointers for you after looking at your HTML.

First, you have two <body> tags. Only one is allowed (and necessary!). You only need the <body bgcolor="#DFE6A6">, the <body text> thing doesn't do anything. Also, you put content ahead of the body tag, which is also not allowed. An HTML document should be in the order of: <html><head>...</head><body>...</body></html>.

Where you have tags like <align="right"></align="right">, they should be something like <div align="right"></div> or <span align="right"></span>.

You're using <image src="..."> once in there, accidently (it should be <img src="..."> instead, like you used in the next pictures).

There's also a stray tag or two in there which can sometimes cause problems with browsers. (Like an opening tag with no closing.)

If you run into problems with keeping your tags in line, start by putting each tag on a new line and indenting in for everything inside that tag. It really helps to keep things simple.

I hope this helps! The page looks great, just a few minor technical errors You're doing awesome for a beginner, though.
