Of course Anna!
Firstly, Don't believe what anyone tells you Doctypes aren't important.
quirks mode is great.
Its always good practice to place random styles and scripts here there and everywhere, it makes it harder for someone to steal your work. better still, remove all white space so the code is almost unreadable. or add superfluous white space so it goes on forever, either way it'll annoy anyone who views your code, so you should be safe in the knowledge it won't get stolen.
to aid this as well I would suggest adding a whole swag of unnecessary comments like
Code:
<!-- This is this divs margin value -->
margin:0;
etc. as it'll show that you really know your stuff.
as far as your table is concerned add marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 etc to your body, by far the best way to do this and it might help with the columns lining up correctly. also
<center> yeah! </center>
oh and you should make your table position:absolute, infact any part of the site should be in AP, please don't make menus in unordered lists, god! what a stupid idea.
Another thing I've seen which could help is to add information to the site between </head> and <body> the best place for your body content to go is clearly before the body tag. and you should give it an id of body as well. and for fun why not make it a class called body as well.
so it would be something like this
<body class="body" id="body" marginheight=0 etc...
oh and try to use
id's more than once if you can.
we are almost there, but you should embed some music so its "fun" for your customers. they'll love it, don't worry about a stop button, you should make it a really bouncy happy invasive song. it'll really get stuck in there head that way.
have you heard of the <marquee> element? well, you can do some pretty amazing stuff with that.
as for your font - no one likes helvetica, you should use comic sans, with a nice rainbow gradient. maybe make it flash a bit. oh yeah of course, you should make heaps of flash elements that don't actually do anything but just look pretty.
personally I think you haven't used enough images in your site, and they are too crisp, you should optimise them with a value of about 10%, your file size will be almost non-existent and no one will notice the artefacts, trust me...
the text in the background is a great idea, not sure why it isn't ranking well for you, I just did a search for total ****ing rubbish and it came up as number 1!!!
one suggestion to help traffic flow, fill up every available space with ads, preferably flashing animated gifs.
both these guys know where its at, check out their brilliance.
