I do have one set of head, body and html tags.
I have validated my CSS and HTML.
Don't see how your HTML can validate. Adding a DOCTYPE of XHTML Strict will not magically convert an HTML document to XHTML. The syntax of your code is entirely wrong - you need, at least, to end the 'unclosed' tags (meta, img, br, etc) in your markup with /> instead of just > if you want to use an XHTML DOCTYPE.
You use tables for purely presentational purposes - eg to place your 'Online' header info at right centre of its containing block - unnecessary, and deprecated. You even use a <center> tag within a centered <p> for that header.
You have broken code - your subheading 'News' is rendering as 'b>News'.
Your markup is totally lacking any semantic approach at all. It's just a stream-of-consciousness procession of <div>s, <table>s and <p>s used to lay out the page in what looks like - to you - a meaningful way.
Your css is inline - one of the aims of modern code, and the ethos of Web Standards, is to separate presentation from content by removing css to an external file.
You even use <font> tags!
Sorry, but I don't think you get what this discussion list, or Web Standards, is about. If you're serious about your 'website design buisness' (sic) you'll do some serious research into how to do this stuff properly. This list exists to help with problems that you can't readily solve, not to write your code for you.
Oh, and regardless of the choice of colours, I'm not sure if you're 'DJ Bullseye', but Didn't Anyone Ever Tell You That Capitalising Every Word In A Sentence Makes The Content Really Hard To Read?
Call me harsh, but I just find these 'please fix my site for me' posts just plain annoying. Normally I'd ignore them; just so happens I had a little time to make what I hope are constructive criticisms.
