Hey
So I got my site working (yes, even the links work too.... LOL). But the tables are wonky and now i'm beginning to hate Photobucket. It takes my images a while to load so the pages always slowly rise up or sometimes not at all!
Please tell me what im doing wrong and PLEASE tell me how to fix it

Little words. It helps.
hahaha.

Photobucket? Do you not have any space on your server or bandwidth?
What your doing wrong? mm.. looks like you already know what your doing wrong, tables ha.
Take a look at Style Sheet Tutorials, and going from a Tables Design to Tableless.
And your images size can easily be cut down by repeating a 1px high background instead of 800px high banner.

CSS is one of the easiest web languages to learn. By far. In fact, I find css design much easier to code than table based design.
This is the tutorial I used to learn it. It was very, very helpful.
Learn CSS! You'll be glad you did.

Thank-you! I'll give it a shot, but im
still pretty scared...

. But if it's as easy as tables, then it can't be too bad... I guess.
And sorry for the slow reply. I got a job... and working is hard!
And just when I get the job, I made
good money off my website. How crazy is that?!

As a designer (so your site says) you will likely eventually have to work with a developer (PHP, ASP, etc) and that basic skkillset in CSS/XHTML makes a big difference. I would strongly recommend picking that up as a skillset -- unless you never plan to do web design.

If you hate tables then you need to study some more and get confident in using them. They are part of a HTML coder's toolkit. If you are blaming them for your wonky design then think again!
Avoiding tables completely is counter productive and you should be fluent enough in HTML to make an educated decision and use what's best for the task at hand.

Sorry, we do not allow linking of sites with adsense all over it, especially when it's not necessary to do so.

CSS is by far the easiest language to learn and i think is one of the best!
Tables are a nightmare!

CSS is much much more powerful and useful. I also learnt using W3 Schools but i found the inteliscript feature in Dreamweaver CS3 much more useful!

Yes I definetly I hate tables, but there's nothing you can do about it, 22.5% of my website visitors use IE -- so I must stick with tables partly (or use hacky JavaScript)
