here dude, you have my respect for having the passion to improve and learn more new thing, which it's rarely to see within people nowadays, which do things half assed, learn half assed, and then quit, but charge people money full assed. that is why the industry is deterioting/rotting lol

well, look at more examples, although you cant do what the pros can do, but don't worry, as long you willing to learn (very important = passion), find yourself a 'mentor' that you look up to, and maybe an idol to be exact, look up at them and try to observe how they do webpages, it's okay to copy or follow, but don't plagiarize

from there you'll notice you're improving yourself, believe me, by looking at website and study them like having food, or breakfast, you'll subconciously feeding yourself with good contents and how to make better sites, believe me, it worked. lol. imagine seeing 1000 sites per week (good one, bad one, any would do, at least you'll improve your analytical skill in deciding whats good and whats not), but of course hahaha, don't do it because of the sake you-have-to-do it, but do it with the ease of you'll feel comfortable and liking it.

that is how you'll grow yourself positively, respect and be respected. heh, maybe before looking into improving at a whole which it will take time, why not fix 1 at a time? (you're doing it now, i can see)

my advice is now, you can look up at tutorials, articles or books on how you can 'place' items properly within a 'grid system' so things would look more organized and comfortable. hey, keep it up (lol, overused word)
