The site looks like it's coming along just fine. Keep working on it

I love CSS the only problem is I ever know when it working on my website I know when it is on others but not mine.

Look into the website Smashing Magazine and you'll find a bunch of tutorials, tip, and hints for your skills.

As far as the site goes, the same thing, if not done in Microsoft Office, per say, can be done in about 1/10th the amount of code that you used. Such unnecessary code cuts down on how fast the browsers can process it.

I got my start on MySpace before it became popular..and went from there about five or six years ago.

MySpace.com - Addicted.to.Code - 20 - Male - Port Huron, Michigan - www.myspace.com/undergroundlabs

and now I've moved to coding much larger websites such as

etc...

Give it a look...and have some fun.

Sometimes you have to balance the load. if a browser has to process so much code, it may just hang from all the code that its trying to parse. Ligten up on the code and you'll decrease on the loading time. Trust me, It'll do you a big favor.

You may like coding, but you generated this site from Microsoft Office...which means that

You didn't code it by hand, it was exported from Microsoft Office
There is too much code for a home page (850 lines of code)
You didn't use XHTML, nor standardized CSS
Your home page does not validate as XHTMl, it actually turns 198 Errors
1. [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.hometownstrasburgva.com/ - W3C Markup Validator
Your home page does not validate as CSS Standard, it returns 12 errors
1. W3C CSS Validator results for http://www.hometownstrasburgva.com/ (CSS level 2.1)
Your home page is missing not only a proper <title> tag, but also all of your meta information
Your site is not SEO Optimized.

These are only a few issues I've found with your site...and please, don't continue to say that you coded it yourself. There's a difference between coding by hand and using pre-processed code. It's like painting...there's tell-tale signs of who actually did it before.

Code:

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

You also failed to specify a DOCTYPE in your website.

Arc's got a point..you have 850 Lines of pre-processed Microsoft Office code on your page. The same page can be written in about 40 lines if I *had* to keep the CSS styling on the same page. Otherwise..you're looking at seriously 10-15 lines..that's it.

Trust me. I do this as a full time job..Monday thru Friday, 9-5pm. When I give advice, it's not normally to someone I don't know, and I don't appreciate someone that doesn't at least say thank you for the help...that alone would make the effort I put into offering advice worth it - even if they neglected to use the advice.

Apparently you don't want to take the advice people are giving you. Since they're being so nice about it, and you're not, I guess I'll give you your own medicine for a moment:

-You say you do it "for a living", yet there is so many problems in your code that it's astounding.
-People here keep trying to help you, but you keep shoving it in their face.
-With each link you click on the site, the page is aligned differently than the other.
-The font types/colors/sizes vary from page to page, and takes away from any sort of unified look.
-I even noticed that, from page to page, various other elements change in size and shape, from the pretty-purple navigation "bar" on the side, to the header on the top.

You should unify everything so it doesn't give people a seizure when they're viewing your site. If you'd like to argue with me about this, then please do it via PM instead of in here, because I'm closing the thread. People can still check out your site from this thread, but it's proven useless to attempt to give you any negative feedback.
