One big thing is that Dreamweaver can add alot of un-needed code, font tags are the worst. As simon said, validating the page(s) should be done, you migth be suprized how many errors there are, I know I was. When I first started in this biz, I wrote html in notepad and only notepad. Nowdays I use Dreamweaver only because it can be quicker, but I also know the code. CSS thats another story..

Speaking about CSS, I noticed you have a lot of CSS code on your page, one of the beauties of CSS is that you can have all your code in one file and call that file for each page. Also helps keep the page size down. Not to mention if you need to change something, you would only need to change one page. But as said, it's a simple page you really dont "need" CSS.

Yea, the learning curve is the beginning is a bit intense

I absolutely agree with the others, you'd be doing yourself a huge favor to take the time to actually learn basic html. Step away from the html editor and learn to code. Once you get started, html is actually very easy to learn. And once you've learned html, using an editor is okay because you can keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't screw something up.

Think of it as learning to walk before learning to run...

Myself, I still hand code every page. Started out using dreamweaver and figured out early on that I needed to know the code. Once I'd learned how to code, just never bothered going back to the editor.

Also, definitely validate every page you build. Again, it's a great way to learn what works and what doesn't. You'll also find that validated pages will usually display correctly in all browsers.

As to css, you might want to leave it alone for now. It's a complication you don't need in your early learning phase. But, definitely plan on adding it in later one you have html down. And Ronnie is exactly right...one of the beautiful things about css is not having it in the code. But instead pulling it from a single off page file
