It's not exactly the greatest of priorities at the moment. As long as it looks good and works in all browsers you're fine for the time being.
Nobody likes to learn to swim in the deep end.
I'm trying to remake my site so it will have more features and stuff, I've added everything to the database now and I've made a little script to display them depending on their file type too.

And the new design I'm working on is here: [URL]http://phi11ip.com/test[/URL]
There's still quite a few things that need sorting but it's coming along nicely, plus it looks a million times better than the last one.
The new one is pretty good, however, I reccomend making sure it meets web standards, which I'm currently doing to my site right now (still got a lot of updating to do yet...), so it meets the demands XHTML 1.0 Transistional
However, a nice little game-related icon would look cool.

The accessible way of generating navigation like this would be in the form of a styled list. In this case, I see nothing wrong with the ".:" as it is part of the chosen design, but the way it has been excecuted is wrong.
The ".:" should be a bullet image as part of the list-style-type css declaration replacing the usual circle, square etc etc. The rest of the navigation can be generated using CSS styling of the LI or UL which would leave the code being reduced to;
- link 1
- link 2
- link 3
- link 4
etc etc.
FWIW, in this case, I'd probably use a contectual icon for each menu option.

Comapred to this morning, that's a 100x better.
The nav though should be in list format and just assign a custom li image of the ".:" using CSS.

Sorry for giving you some advice...
Meh, it's a general web "turn-off" having stupid n00b things.
Good thing it's a Geocities site then.
Oh wait, it isn't.
All Geocity sites have a rule; use a gimmicky thing before weblinks.
haha

It's a good job it's not your site then, so you don't need to worry about it.
