I'm a student part time at the University of Tasmania doing a Bachelor of Computing and have done several web related units including PHP, JavaScript, HTML etc. I also make the odd standards compliant website (waiting for a big break into something a bit more technical - I work pretty cheap by the way). I'm constantly putting in standards compliant assignments instead of their "recommended" tables and frames. Its kinda funny. Anyway I had this assignment to do which involved emulating a games magazine website, pretty basic and wasn't allowed to program anything in this, the login is only simulated as are the print preview, forum and chat etc etc - so no roasting me on it. Its an assignment about design, accessibility and usability in the main for a 2nd year unit called Web Management - beginning of Info Sys e-commerce stream.

Anyway I've put in skip nav, print stylesheet, resizable text and stuff and all pages validate to XHTML 1.0 Strict. Any ideas on other simple ways that could improve this site?

One problem I noticed briefly in IE5 I think was the top nav and left, right columns disappeared. Would this be the print stylesheet? What would I be doing wrong here.

Oh the content is completely fictitious so you'll probably enjoy a chuckle over lunch, I'd rather make stuff up than Harvard reference as usual.

Its over here at  http://www.nortypig.com/project

Replies off list would be welcome as this is probably slightly O.T. as usual. Thanx in advance.
