1. Doctype still broken -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN><html>

2. Head tag misplaced -

//-->
</script>

<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
bgcolor="#0000FF">
<font color="#0000FF"><head> </font>

3. Poor english in title -

<title>BOXER DOGS SOPHIE OUR BOXER DOG DIED SO YOUNG</title>

and usage/spelling errors throughout.

4. Extravagant use of <font> tags -

<font color="#FFFFFF" size="2">

5. Invalid HTML in table code -

<table width="100%" border="1" bgcolor="#0000FF" bordercolor="#0000FF"
height="3266">

6. Deprecated usage in table cell code -

<td height="2722" width="100%" bgcolor="#0000FF">

7. Extravagant use of text alignment methods when applied to cell content -

<div align="center">
<table width="90%" height="37%" border="5" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#990000" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
<td height="76" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<div align="center">

8. Page still has broken links (same one since the first post) -

<table width="100%" height="71%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
background="file:///C|/unzipped/myfreetemplates-jd_

9. Table still has more spans than the Brooklyn bridge -

<td height="2" colspan="2">

10. Jump menu is not in a form (no form on page) -

<p>
<select name="menu1"
onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

11. Table structure is much too complex for this simple layout, which could
be done with two nested tables.

12. Multiple instances of unnecessary and redundant <font> tags -

<font size="2" color="#FF0000">
</font><font
size="2" color="#FFFFFF">.
</font><font
size="2" color="#FFFFCC"><font color="#FF0000">PLEASE

But it's getting better one small step at a time....

Hope it wasn't too harsh.
