Add <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> To your <head> area. This will ensure that you can stick a "Valid XHTML" button on your page. Replace all <b> tags with <strong> ones - think semantically rather than presentationally. With Firefox, you can turn off Styles (View > Page Style > No Style); the content should make as much sense as is possible. I notice that you have a span class defined for the blockquote. Consider using the actual HTML element - that is, <blockquote>Lorem Ipsum Dolor....</blockquote>, and then use CSS to redefine the way the blockquote is rendered. This will make more sense, for search engines, screen readers and people without graphical browsers (Lynx, et al.). You also have a slight case of Divitis [2]; for an excellent article which talks more about this, [3]. See here for a complete list of HTML tags - there are _quite_ a few [1]. Please ensure that you stay with the non-deprecated ones, if you want to remain in valid xHTML space. c One minor nit-pick: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"/> Should really be: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" /> Add the space after the closing quote. > I have learned a lot but still have a long way to go.

Where is that? I greet the day way before most of the world; I study in Bangalore, South India. Also, one small suggestion; bottom-post, rather than top-post. You will notice that I have replied to your message below what you have written; this makes more sense when one reads through it, as you can see what you have written, and to which part I have specifically replied.
