some tips you have probably heard before...
looking good. dont know what you did but it works in mozilla now.
couple tips (you might/prolly already know this)
make it smaller. although some people say to make your website look good in all screen sizes most people optimize for 800x600 resolution. if you look at the bottom right corner of your dreamweaver window you will see a size. this is a pull down menu if you click it then you can get an idea what the size of each window will be. most people try to make websites look good in 800x600 maximized. although im guessing most of us here have 1024x768 screens this is just because we are mac users.
provide a navigation bar. doesnt have to be anything fancy. some people do text that shows heirarchy (home
rotfolio:music:etc) or just a few small buttons (since im guessing you want to keep the look clean and simple) since your name gets carried along to each page you could have a few small buttons underneath. fireworks is great for making buttons, but you can also use flash or dreamweaver.
use cascading style sheets and tables for text. every web browser and computer will display html text differently. CSS (cascading style sheets) attempt to standardize text across machiens and browsers. CSS can also do other neat things if you need it to. in dreamweaver you can let dreamweaver make a CSS sheet for you. CSS works a lil like this: you make a CSS sheet that will be stored in your root folder that will have information for different types of text that you have specified. each of your html pages will you the style sheet to format the text involved. so you can create a style sheet that has information on the size and font of a title text and also information on the size and font of a body text. in each of your html pages you will select your titles to use the title formatting and each of your body texts to use the body formating. if you want to change the formating all you need to change is the CSS sheet and all your pages will change since they are just using the CSS sheet. CSS sheets also give you much more control over the size spacing and look of your text. by playing with these you can get text to look the same across browsers and machines.
i dont know if this is standard or just some weird hack i invented but i found that some navigators (netscape) will crop text to fit in the window while other browsers (ie) will provide a scroll bar. i didnt like this since it completely screwed up the look of the page. i position text anywhere on the screen using a draw layer, and inside the draw layer i put a one cell table where i put my text. although browsers will screw with draw layers they wont screw with tables and so i can position my text anywhere i like and have it displayed the same in any browser. i works for me, but i dont know if there is an easier way of doing things. i tried a lot of different things before finding this worked.
if i just said a bunch of stuff you already know, im sorry i know this stuff is pretty elementary, but it is the stuff that gave me problems when i started out.
