Trouble accessing wegsite

There may be a better usegroup for posting this request for help, if
there is, please direct me there.

At http://www.texasflyfishers.org a lot of our members have report not
being able to access the website.

With the exception of one Verizon - MAC user, all the others were Road
Runner who were switched to Comcast.

Is this a known issue?
Are they out to get me?
What can I do to the code to alleviate this problem?

I personally had no trouble accessing your site, my ISP is Optus,
I am on a Mac, I tried a couple of browsers, Safari and FF.

One thing I would be inclined to do is to fix up the errors that
are showing. At least get it not to show any errors at all. Also
fix up the fault and warnings with your CSS. To start with.

I would also be inclined to use

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

as a doctype.

Clutching at straws, but switch the doctype from XHTML to HTML 4.01
Strict. You have XML markup errors in there which could potentially
make vast parts of the page disappear, even though it's a theoretical
problem, not one I've actually seen demonstrated before.

I get a "site not found" - looks like you have a DNS problem. Nothing you
can do in HTML to fix that, you'll have to ask your web hosting provider
about it.

Clutching at straws can work wonders sometimes. I wound up using 'loose
dtd'. That got me from 47 errors down to 2 which I was able to work
out. Now to find why CSS does not validate.

Andrew..........
As a side note. That was a trip 2 of our members made. As luck would
have it, there was a photo shoot in progress during their stay at the
camp and Mike is in about half dozen catalogs and magazines.

Thanks
Dave

Always...

You must have been working on the page. The only error I get is
"font:normal" which you can just remove or use something generic like
"font-family:sans-serif;" (The 4.01 transitional validates 100%.)

The page loaded fine for me, so I suspect it's as Sherm Pendley suggests -
a host problem.

Use Strict, and get rid of align="" in 8 of the img elements. You
can style them with style="float: left;" etc. Or better, class
them and get the style instruction out of line in your css sheet.
