Wow...that's a really nice page. A few suggestions though:
1. Finish the web page COMPLETELY before you advertise it.
2. The banner at the top is not allowing you to see the pull down menus.
3. The plus signs on each side of the pull down categories make the page look like you were either starved for a good idea of how to highlight those menus, or got really bored.
4. LAST ONE!!!

Try to reduce the graphic intensity on the main page, loading time is a biatch.

Mi nargas esta en fuergo!!!

Thanks so much you guys it was very nice of you to complement the site and I feel really inspired now. The problem is that when I put my sponsers banner up It automatically covered the menu I have no clue how and Ive been trying really hard to find someone who could help me out. Do you know what might be wrong? Oh yea thanks for the tip with the plus signs I think ill change it to just parallel lines do you think that would be ok?
Well anyways I gotta go to bed its already 12am so It was really nice hearing from you guys and please keep me posted.
Bye!

If in the case you are unable to find out how to get the menus to go over the banner (Which I dont think you can), you can always just add a few blank lines to your HTML code to leave space for the menus, that way you still have the banner at the top of your page and you can completely see the menus.

Yea I tried that it doesnt look good at all Im going to have to find away to get it to go over I have been asking around and someone told me that they will do it for me this weekend so itll all be fine after saturday!

Hi!
Adit, if i'm not totally mistaken but your site looks very similar to old DBM design. Next, the idea with pull-down menus and ++ signs is kinda out of layout. It's looks like banner stripe (or whatever) on XOOM site etc but not like a part of your site. Look at DBM: under the logo they have a stripe with shotcuts TIPS | BOOK STORE etc... try to use the same method.
Regards,

Leo,

His site is the furthest thing from DBM I have ever seen :P

Hi,
I read that last comment about my site resembeling dbm's please avoid making comments such as that one I have worked very hard on this site and havent copied anyone. Its been 6 months and I finally got it complete. In no way did I claim that i invented every idea on my page as a matter or fact If you are that critical then there are many pages in which resemble mine. Thank you for your advice on the menu bar and I will change that, its not copied at the time I thought it may go well with the site.
regards,
Adit

I didn't catch that last edit the fist time around. If he says it's OK, then there's no problem anymore.

Your pages brake in some parts, due to lack of <br> tags... Some browsers and platforms don't automatically shift images down at the end of the table if they don't see a <br> and stretch the table and it runs off the screen.

Ex. Your PS Tutorial page is like that...
