I have just launched my web site host and was wondering what you think of the design, the address is http://freewebhost.com.kg . Please say what you think, but not so much as you would hurt my feelings, well actually I don't care about my feelings all I care about is my site, insult my site if you dare and I will make it better.
I am going on about nothing again, god I need a life.

The text color doesn't really stand out. Same color as the border on the tables.

You could try a mouseover effect on the links on the left.eg different color, no underline, bigger/smaller font, italic, bold etc. As they are they don't stand.

You don't say what pays for this free service, eg. banner ads, pop ups, ad-free!!!:):):)

Basically you put something like the below in HEAD.

Values for text-decoration of interest here is "none" and "underline".
Font-size can use a variety of units. You have to read up on that.

Not "case and space sensitive" but have to get the colons and semi colons right.

{ propertyA: valueA; properyB; valueB }

Also keep the a:hover rule last in the set.

*****************************

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link { color: #0000CC; font-size: smaller; text-decoration: none }
a:visited { color: #0000CC; font-size: smaller; text-decoration: none }
a:activ { color: #FF3300; font-size: smaller; text-decoration: none }
a:hover { color: #FF3300; font-size: smaller; text-decoration: none }
-->
</style>

You might want to take a look at this page. It is all about CSS(Style sheets/cascading style sheets). It will help you understand what meow is on about.

http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/beyond/css.html

It also shows what else you can do with CSS apart from changing texts, eg. changing scrollbar colors etc.
