Hey could ye have a gander at a website i did for a project please?

Hey I did this web page today for a project (given three months ago but of course I only started it today!). Its a web site reviewing others, including this one! I did it as I learned HTML (thats right I didnt know a character of HTML before today). I did it mostly by hand but used a tiny bit of front page image formating wizzidry! It is my first site so go easy but have a gander and tell me what ye think please! Anyway heres the site = http://student.cs.ucc.ie/~slfoh1/Index.html

This page is not Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.

1. Line 1, column 0: no document type declaration; implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>"

<HTML> <head> <title>C.S 1102 project home</title> </head>

The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE") declaration. The Validator has tried to validate with the HTML 4.01 Transitional DTD, but this is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large number of incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you insert the proper DOCTYPE declaration in your document -- instructions for doing this are given above -- and it is necessary to have this declaration before the page can be declared to be valid.

You should place a DOCTYPE declaration as the very first thing in your HTML document. For example, for a typical XHTML 1.0 document:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Title</title>
</head>

<body>
<!-- ... body of document ... -->
</body>
</html>
Assuming you use Firefox, get a fantastic plugin "Web Developer 0.8" from the mozilla website, great help for developing web-pages.

Your first attempt works, but looks rather boring with all that grey background. Making the clickable logos a bit smaller will make the page look friendlier.
Use the above-mentioned (official) validator in future.

Also, try to avoid the use of the word "banner", lots of popup-stoppers and some firewalls are "allergic" to it and either suppress that banner or refuse to load that page altogether.
