What advice would you give to somebody about to build their first website?
I think I would advise them to look at sites that they like, as well as some of the top sites in the field of interest that the site is addressing, and try to understand why they like them... IE, easy navigation, nice design, good content. Then, try and apply what they have just learnt to their own web site.
Oh, and don't use frames... or the

Depends on several factors including:
a)Adoption Rate
b)What your developing
NS6 isn't a problem, well not for me anyway... I've studied it for months now. And our stats are showing a steady increase in the ammount of users on the NS6 platform.
It's actually very easy to develop for as it follows the defined rules, it's because of developers/designers that have depended on the non compliant stuff that are finding the problems and the difficulties in using it.
NS6 uses the same engine as Opera, and IE6 has followed suit with its compliancy and adotion rates for all three are steadily climbing.

Skillful use of purple and green Tyla.
Also, NS6 MAY be totally compliant but, as a proper webdesigner should know, you really can't develop for it. As always, new technology takes a while to filter through and you shouldn't develop for NS6 until at least NS7 comes out.

I like your style. Looks a bit futuristic, that's the sort of thing I try and incorporate into my sites. Check out mine at http://www.lukenet-v1.co.uk - there's no proper content yet, so it won't look as good as it should. It's like Turbomonkey said, "K.I.S.S" Keep It Simple Stupid, all my other attempts looked cluttered and I was never happy. I'm still not 100% on this one, I might go back to one of the old ones. What do you think?
Finally got round to putting up my new homepage!! yeah!! Just need to create the rest of it now!!
If you can blow it up, let me know!!

I am forced to check compatability. When I code under Linux (very useful) I have to use Konquerer or NS, which are both essentially 4.7. Simple.

Did you look at microsoft.com in IE, then in NS? That is what I meant. In IE, it has drop down menus and stuff, in NS, it does not, but that does not stop you using the site and navigating around, you just don't get the special menus.
