I have a while to go yet. :)
Things I would like to know that I have not been taught yet (I really can't wait until next week):

*Colour
*email
*anything else you guys can think of. :)

My ability to use HTML will depend greatly on my ideas. :)
The teacher can only show the students so much, I want to go beyond that when I get marked on my exam and my assignments.

Thanks

Tables are key, you have to learn how to use tables to make well designed webpages. Frames can only take you so far, I've learned this (see my site below). I've branched out to using tables instead, makes it look much more clean and professional. Check out the page that I'm doing for my Robotics Club @ school.

Thanks for the code.

There are 3 main parts that you really need to use tables. You need the actual table tag, the table row tag, and the table data tag. Here is an example.

<table><tr><td>data goes here</td><td>more data goes here</td></tr></table>

Think of the td tag as more of a column tag, but its necessary even if you're using only one row and one column.

And of course there are myriads of variables that all of these tags can have, for instance, table tags can hold the cellpadding, cellspacing, border, width, height, bordersize, bordercolor, and other variables. Take a look at the website I'm working on, take the source, mess with it if you'd like, and pick some things up. That's how I really got into webdesign about 5 years ago.

I can help you there, change your body tag to be this:

<body bgcolor="#FF00FF">

and wrap your text in font tags like this:

<font color="#00FF00">this is my color text that r0xur5!!!!</font>

trust me, it will look awesome. :D

Tables ROCK! They even let saps like me make pretty pages easy. Frames are annoying as hell and browser dependant, tables are a lot more universal. :)

Thanks guys, I have updated my webpage once again.

Now the only thing with tables is how to get them on to my right hand side rather than left. How would I centre a table?

Thanks

Start thinking along the lines of nesting some tables within tables for formatting, it gets fun... ;)

Make your table width=100% or however many pixels you want it.

<table width=100%>

And then you can either use the good old...

<center></center>

tags or you can just put...

align=center

inside the td tag.
