New to HTML & Web Design!!

I'm not saying anything against people who don't like it, in fact I think you'll find I said they were the experts.

I don't claim to be a "designer" myself, and I'm no expert, I'm a beginner. Only bought the site in May, and started learning HTML and CSS then.

sorry, I read that as "it was written so you can see how it works, that's how I want it and only the experts see that, if you don't that means you're not an expert." My apologies.

As inquisitor said, lose the <center>s, use text-align: center; if you want to centralise text and define and width and use margin: 0 auto; if you want to centralise a block level element within its parent. And don't put <br/> tags ouside of block level elements (p,div,li etc), use a horizontal rule if you have to.

Even more reason to actually listen to what you're being told, ignoring us doesn't mean it's not a bad design. Take onboard what we've said, try and learn from your mistakes and come up with something nicer.

No, my site, my rules, and I like the current design. :p ;) When I ask for help I'll take it on board and be grateful too!

I know it's bad to have styling in the HTML if you use CSS, but this design was never intended for anything but my own personal site. It's in my to-do list (working on adding wordpress right now).

If I ever do a site for someone else, or a template site, I'll avoid <center>. :D

In this case, I never asked for any help of any kind at all. I simply commented about using CSS on my site, and liking it.

Then someone said they liked it, then someone said it's aweful, a site slagging match ensued, and now I have to change my site design.

Eh?

Just people trying to alert you to the fact that your site isn't that nice to look at. If you don't mind that the majority won't like it then I guess that's fine.
 
no one says you have to change your site - it's yours for a reason, but if you want people to take your html and css "projects" seriously, then you should probably make your site (and your tutorials) more aesthetically pleasing to web developers, as that seems to be your audience.

I don't want it to.. you can set the link to use an actual address, so as you're the one with the buttons, and the care that you have them, why don't you run along and change your site instead of hindering the user experience?
 
I have been toying with the idea of setting it to a permanent link, but you see all my pages look like this:

Code: 
<!--#include virtual="/head.html"-->
html for the content here.
<!--#include virtual="/foot.html"-->
and the valid links are in footer.html and served to multiple pages.

what I will probably do it set it to simply take you to the validator, like the CSS one does.
 
In that case consider using a more capable language than SSI; PHP perhaps.

Also, linking to the validator is as good as not linking to it, since no one will actually care enough to copy and paste the address into the validator. Most won't bother to click the link anyway, though.
