Please review the site I made

It doesn't matter if you do all the error checking in the world, or if you have the most beautiful graphics, if your site or application design isn't usable, it's not going to do well. Get input and advice on usability and user interface issues here.

Okay, I made a site for the social studies department that allows them to access an admin panel and post assignments, test dates, email other teachers, etc... The list of teachers, tests, and assignments are all database-driven. I just wanted to get your opinions. Thanks!

Well, one main thing when designing a site is your resolution settings.. You should always, always design a site using 800x600.. Simply due to the fact that when you use a higher resolution, someone with a smaller resolution will have to scroll in both width and length to view the entire page... So, I would suggest redoing the tables either a) to fit on a 800x600 screen, or b) to use 100% width/height in order for them to stretch/shrink when the resolution calls for it.

Other than that, seems ok. I didn't exactly try to hack it or anything, but seems like you did a pretty nice job.

Looks very nice.

One thing I just have to say since this is at UI Design/Usability

Blinking links are not generally a good idea. They can be very confusing for some people.

The orange... it hurts me eyes!!! Text should be black on white all the time, ideally, but mellow colors are okay for backgrounds. Just not Orange! Anything but the orange! AAAAAAH!!!!

Sorry, couldn't help but be a little overdramatic.
