One more thing I am 14. Just to clear that up so people don't think I'm a 40 year old man who can't make a good looking HTML site 
Got a tip for us?

I'm sure we all know that part, no self-respecting 40 year-old would make such skate-boarding site! Keep us updated on your revisions!

My First HTML Website
Great to see you jump in! HTML can be a complex world.
My suggestion would be to build the site using iWeb, allowing you to focus more on creating a great looking site.
I would study the templates to understand the basics of page design and website navigation. (You also will have the freedom to create pages from scratch.)
Once you have the right look and feel, decide what features you think your site lacks that you can't create in iWeb and move on to another program. You might find that iWeb covers all of your needs.

Agreed. If you do want to dive into css and html, go to this link, look for a website template design you like, and download the html and css files. It will give you a good understanding of how css and html works, and you can then change and customize it to your liking.

You may believe that or not, I came here to communicate with customers and share some information i know and get new information for me. Signature is a signature, sure it provides some information about the company.Sorry for off-topic
Anyway, the author has replied, and that is good.
It's certainly better that anything I made at 14!
I had a look at your code, and apart from your css link tag(see a previous post), you should put your analytics code inside your body tag:
It is currently outside your html tags.
Also try setting a padding on your <div id="content">, so the text stays away from the border. (looks nice)
You should also check out http://960.gs/, it does all the layout for you. I would suggest doing it by hand at least for a while though, because it makes it almost too easy!
Also, have fun in the world of web development!

I feel like such a noob! Everyone has better sites than me! I finished the layout with the CSS and HTML but I still have to fill in the content! Should be done soon!
Ignore everyone telling you to use iweb, preset themes or similar. You'll just end up reliant on fitting your needs and wants to other people's designs.
Everyone has to start off somewhere. I started when I was your age (I'm 22 now), and my website has come a hell of a long way.
Having said that, you might want to check out a colour palette website like http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes/top ...your colours are kind of blinding, and unfortunately I think that's more of an instinctual thing (you've either got it or you haven't) unless you're professionally taught.

I remember my first web site and it was probably like that. One thing I heavily recommend is learning CSS, as well as doing all of this web stuff initially by hand. Also you should definitely take a look at how colors match & balance each other.

Mate don't worry !! The learning curve is quite stiff at the beginning but you are on the good way !!
I have not read the whole thread, but as the previous poster said, forget about iweb or you will not learn anything. Use a text editor (I like Text Wrangler which is free) and that's it. You can also look at templates to see how they are built, modify them etc.
Don't give up
