Hey dude.

Is coming along great! :D Better than anything i could do.

Only a couple of things really jump out at me:

1. WELCOME To MiniMafia's online MINI Hotwheels cagalog! :P

and

2. The 'About Me' page looks great with all those models in the back ground pic, but i had real trouble reading the fluro green text over the top of it. :(

Otherwise, she looks sweet. :D

Great site mate, love the redline wheeled ones 8)
Hot wheels was way better than matchbox when i was young.
Always had sportier cars and mags, especially when they released the rubber tyre models

Are you Mac or PC based?

I hear a lot of people using "Frontpage" for PC, i think. Basic, as i understand it, but it works.

I can tell you now that there is no better website editing suite than the incredibly complex "Notepad". This is not a joke. Many other packages such as Dreamweaver, PageMaker and Front-page add a lot of useless and sometimes incorrect code without you wanting it to and without warning.

To get a clean efficient website, your only option is to use a basic text editor such as Notepad for PC and TextEdit for Mac...

True but you'll have to learn HTML

I couldn't agree more. HTML isn't that hard to learn the basics of, its pretty simple and you can keep the source code of your site neat and tidy. I know some HTML and could make a pretty good website if I wanted to.

Go and have a look at the source code for your site (right click on the page and select source code). It is all jumbled and yuk! Nice content though.

If you know BB Code you are already partly on your way to knowing HTML eg. BOLD in html is just <b>BOLD</b> same as BB Code but without square brackets.

Basic HTML page structure:

Code:
<!-- These brackets define a comment and cannot be seen by the person viewing the page, but are useful when labeling parts of the page when you have a lot of content -->

<!-- All tags muse be finalised with a "/", eg. <b>Bold word in here</b> -->

<!-- You have to have this DOCTYPE section -->

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html lang="en">



<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<!-- Links to a Cascading Style Sheet (the most useful aspect of web-design) -->

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css">

<title>Title of Page Goes Here</title>

</head>

<!-- Main Content -->

<body>

<!-- Basic paragraph formatting <p> tags, and <b> for BOLD, etc.. -->

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, <b>consectetuer adipiscing elit</b>. Quisque pede. Vestibulum commodo rutrum orci. Maecenas gravida fermentum massa. Phasellus laoreet urna ac massa. Nam elementum. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.</p>

</body>

<!-- Ending Statement -->

</html>


Enjoy :P
