Sorry to be blunt, but it looks pretty bad.

What can I say. THIS IS REALLY BAD!

1. Most of the pages content is inside the head element.
That's not where It's supposed to be, It should be inside the body element.

2. You do not have any style attributes in the script element.

3. Most of the elements has a style attribute with lots of settings.
You should not style html elements that way, you use CSS to style it, and use either a class or id on the elements to refer to the CSS code.

4. The bodys background color should be styled in CSS.

5. There's no info about character encoding.

6. You should declare the doctype.

7. Why do you have each and every link/image element in a single div tag for each and every one of them?

8. Your sites breaks down if you're using IE.

9. Your image elements should have an attribute for alternatives.

10. Why do you use images for all the links.
Just style the link text to be in a specific color, with padding to make them take more place.

11. All elements names/text and attributes should be written in lower case.

12. Why are your images, you're using for links, so big?
Scale them down before uploading them to the server, It just wastes bandwidth having too big images that you need to scale down on the client side.

Next time, go to validator.w3.org to check that your page follows the standards.



As for the design. It's horrible. Lots of links everywhere, really big font size which makes it hard to read.


You should read up on html, CSS and Javascript. Purchase a book.

Hints.
HTML is to structure the page.
CSS is used to style it (positioning of elements, text, colors, background images).
JavaScript is used to make the page more dynamic, above what you can do with CSS. And your page should also work without any javascript.


And I'm not being mean. I'm being critical, and trying to give constructive critisism on your page.

Oops?

In some of my CSS I have abbreviated names. I have IDs such as sAtR, sRlB and sCb.

Only time I've found it accepptable by w3c to use upper case version of chars, is with for example "onClick", and other JavaScript based actions.

But the IDs could be named however you like, just the attributes are supposed to be in lower case.
For example

CSS script...
#HeLLo {
...
}
...
<div id="HeLLo">...</div>

That's acceptable.
However, this is not

#HeLLo {
...
}
...
<div Id="HeLLo">...</div>

Ah. It's all good then.

Anyway, OP, the site needs a major overhaul. CSS integration, possibly JavaScript, and browser interoperability (so download IE, FireFox and Chrome).
