To be honest - you should continue this in comp.lang.php, since this
de.comp.lang.php is intended for discussions in German (Crosspost and
Follow-Up-To set).

First of all: Take care to produce valid HTML. Of course validity is
only one of many aspects what makes a good web site - but fixing erros
because of invalid HTML is harder the later you take care of it.

Then try to take care not to assume that your visitors use a specific
screen resolution, browser software etc. - don't use fixed (pixel) font
sizes or fixed dimensions.

When i look a <http://www.merrillpjensen.com/> i notice, that your
"wrapper" div has a fixed with of 960 pixels - which is bad since you
can not assume that every visitor uses a screen which is at least 960
pixels wide or on the other hand that 960 pixels is fine to provide
enough space for the content.

Better: Set a maximum width ("max-width" insted of "width") to avoid too
wide text lines - and don't use "px", but "em" as dimension, so the
number of characters per line matters and not an absolute pixel size -
and if the browser window as smaller, the content will adapt to the
smaller width (see my site <http://arnowelzel.de> as an example).

For example - some visitors may use a default font size of 30 pixels,
because they have a very high resolution display and/or because the have
problems reading text at the "normal" size. With 960 pixels fixed width
your content will only provide space for 30-40 characters horizontally
cramped into a narrow content box (e.g. Apple MacBook with "Retina"
display provides 2880 x 1800 pixels).
