I tend to look at the code of these things before exploring a site and I am glad to see teh site does not use tables for position or layout of elements. Good start. If you wrote this yourself you done good. (I do see some typical div IDs though) If you used some sort of software you've got a decent package to start with and you can learn some good (and bad) habits from it.

Back before there were dinosaurs, I wrote my first pages in a gui front end I would then open the generated file and strip out all the extraneous crap put in. It is a great way to learn html.

The code on this page appears symantecly correct for the doctype (except that pesky 'target="_blank"' thing) and the doctype is 'strict.' set it to transitional and it probably would validate.

As for the above comment on using a template driven wordpress or other type bloggin software? they look good, typical but clean. but that's the problem they are hardly original except inthe color combinations and pictures, (even then - you download a template and you get what every other guy that downloaded it did). Keep with what you got, you'll learn abit as you go; if you want to, that is.

I would agree with the hosting recommendation. Professionally run server that supports just about all you'd need to run any kind of web based apps.
