Your opinion

Hey I am new to web designing, but recently I did a site for a friend using Dreamweaver and I think it turned out ok for my first time. I know I made a lot of mistake and would I like to get better at it. I would appreciate it if someone could look at what I did and give me some suggestion on how I could make it better. I know if you view it in different browers you will get different looks. Like the top seems to separate (with gaps between the cell) for reason I didn’t know why.

Like I said any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
Here is the site

One of the things I notice right away is all that empty space at the bottom of the page. You should take that out or something.

First off I just want to say that this is actually a really good site if this is your first website you have ever done.
A few things.
There isn't really aligment <- can you say that?
I mean nothing is really aligned to anything.
No structure on the whole site.
Then the "reggie and..." and those "poems things" are a bit big and they aren't aligned either.
I would make them alot smaller.
The header looks okey.
I just don't like the quality of the woman, you should try to get a better quality on a photo of her.
Then the images behind her are a bit bit blurred but they still look like squares.
Should try to come up with a way to get them more smooth in the background.

And as said, the sizes are "bit" too big.
table width="1200" try changing it to 100% instead.
It might screw up the whole layout if you have just used images but you can give it a try.
That's about it.

As I said, it's still a good site for a first site, these are just things that I noticed.

Thank you 3 for your comments, I apperciate them. If anyone else would like to give their opioion feel free, and if you know of a tutorial that you think could help please post a link. I wanted to add music to the site, but didn't know how to strean music. If anyone knows how to do that and is willing to tell me I would apperciate that too.

Thank you once again.
