Need Feedback on user I/F and java menus

[gshn]

Hi,

I set up my web site primarily to learn more about putting a basic web site together and as an outlet for my sailing hobby. I've tried various user interface styles but my implementation of this one is a poor hack I think. I basically include the basic pearl script at the start of each new page in the web site. I'm sure there is an easier way to do this and write the code once and just keep it in one place. Any ideas on a better interface and a way to do it are appreciated.

Strangely most of your site appears to be native HTML except your music page which appears to be a Word HTML converstion (maintaining Word HTML will make you old before your time). I used 1024x768 to review your site but it appears only your home page needs it. All other pages are left justified. Your music page also uses the viewers browser background color. I suggest you provide your own background image, as you have on other pages, or color. For some reason your home page scrolls jerky(it could be that you have two </body> and </html> tags). Why I have no clue. You can get rid of link underlines using CSS:
<style>
<!--
a { text-decoration : none;
}
a:hover { text-decoration : underline;
}

// -->
</style>
and restore it when hovered.

It looks pretty basic... but with basic things come things that look professional. (such as those really old info pages with just black text and white background, with line breaks)
