There really isnt much there yet. The #1 most important part of a wesite is content, so you need to think what you ae going to put there and write it up.

Also, at least you could make the URLs on the links page into actual links. In case you dont know how to do this,
Code: 
<a href="http://www.whatever.com/page/">Link Text Here</a>

Hey thanks for the reply and advice I tried to make the links on the links page so that when you click on it it will direct you to the site but the program thing that freewebs gives wasnt letting me no matter how much I clicked on it. Once again thanks for the advice and help.
 
I'd rename the links on your navigation menu to something more descriptive than Page 1, Page 2, and so on.

Also, consider making that huge image on Page 1 a thumbnail with a link to the larger image or make it smaller. I may have Cable internet but even I got tired of waiting for it to load fully. If it's really that large 56K users are not going to want to load it and will leave.

Sorry, I'm in a web design class for my major in college and a quick loading page is a thing that you should cater to for low bandwidth users.
 
You can't help him on his website much with the coding atleast, he's using a default Freewebs template.

:lol: thanks oh and I bet you can do it better.
 
Had a look...its ok. I guess you are restricted in what you can do by using a template. btw you still have the default prompts showing "Type your title here" :p

If you can, I'd say use a css style sheet to format the menu links and external links so they don't have the underline.

You need to a link like this in the HEAD
<LINK href="JMenu_files/Style.css" type=text/css rel=STYLESHEET>

and have a nice stlye sheet like:
.whitelnk{
COLOR: #EEEEEE; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica;
FONT-SIZE: 12px;
display:block;
HEIGHT : 100%;
WIDTH :190px;
FONT-WEIGHT:BOLD;
CURSOR:HAND;
BORDER:SOLID 1px #9090FF;
background-color: #787880;
padding: 2px;
}
.whitelnk:hover{
COLOR: #EEEEEE; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica;
FONT-SIZE: 12px;
WIDTH : 190px;
HEIGHT :100%;
FONT-WEIGHT:BOLD;
CURSOR:HAND;
BORDER:SOLID 1px #FFFFFF;
TEXT-DECORATION:NONE;
background-color: #9090FF;
padding: 2px;
}
.whitelnk:visited{
COLOR: #EEEEEE; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica;
FONT-SIZE: 12px;
WIDTH : 190px;
HEIGHT : 100%;
FONT-WEIGHT:BOLD;
CURSOR:HAND;
TEXT-DECORATION:NONE;
padding: 2px;
}

Save this in a text document like Style.css

Heres one I'm working on for a friend at the moment.

Ok this is nice info but how do i do this now? Sorry I am kind of a computer noob.
 
I've put a test page up here to show you what I meant. The colours don't match your site but can be changed with the background-color and Color attributes. They are RGB values in hex, so use your PC calculator to change from decimal. ie #FF25DD is Red 255 Green 37 Blue 221.

First copy and paste the bit of style sheet I posted into a new text document, then save it as Style.css, upload this to the same folder as your pages.
Add this link in between the <HEAD></HEAD> tags
<LINK href="Style.css" type=text/css rel=STYLESHEET>

In your menu it has an <a> tag like this
<A class="section" href="http://www.freewebs.com/pimp_racer_pb/carshowpictures.htm">Car Show Pictures</A>

change the class value to menuLnk and it will pick up from the stylesheet. Then change the colour to suit your taste.

Using this system it makes it easy to change the entire website font and colour and style from one area, without editing each page.
Look up style sheets or CSS on google...you will love it :) It makes layout/ design/ look and feel alot easier.

Try this w3.org site as a starter
ciao :)
 
I'm pretty sure he can't do that Tacet_Blue, the last time I checked the only way you could actually manually edit the code of a website in Freewebs was when you signed up as a Advanced HTML User, on this it's a whole different setup, you had names for pages and it automatically makes the code, you can't change the code.
 
Oh well...I thought he had the ability to edit raw HTML as he managed to sort out the href bits.

btw Is that a beautiful YZF R1 in your avatar, I don't recognise the rider as he has no number, maybe a test driver for a magazine. My guy (Mick Doohan) has got a better style :p check out his aggresive body angle and the front wheel doing a bit of countersteer :)
