Awesome Bro

It's nothing great, but it doesn't need to be. Looked at your code and it's fairly well presented, but that's your preference, not a user's.

Nothing much to comment on, really.

I just needed a second opinion about it. Btw, I can't make the header image work, idk why.
Checked the URL thousands of times, doesn't work.
Does anybody know a domain name register apart from dot.tk? (free)

I didn't even notice the header not loading, I thought it was just the browser parsing the page.

Try putting the URL of the image instead of the root. So replace

Code:
<img src="images/header.jpg" /> 

with like ...

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/header.jpg" />

I've uploaded the image correctly, in the same folder that it's in my computer and it still doesn't work ( when I'm testing it offline it does work)

and btw, I wrote it that way:

Code:
<img src="images/header.png" alt="" width="720" height="120" />

Awesome Bro

My code was just an example, i wasn't actually referring to your work. But replace that entire line of code with the following and try again:

Code:
<img src="http://webnachos.webcindario.com/images/header.png" alt="" width="720" height="120" />

And may i suggest adding something in the "alt" tag. It isn't there purely for validation, it gives people with slow internet / web images turned off an idea of what is in that gap before it loads.

I've changed it and it still doesn't work. I also checked the image path and it's ok.
I don't have a fucking idea why it does not wooork

your host might be having some troubles. It's something you have to put up with when using a free host i'm afraid. I can provide you with some hosting if you need it (for free)? Drop me a pm and we'll work something out.

I'll PM you if I ever need anything, thanks. It's just I was already using this hosting and I could use images. Idk why it isn't working now.

Plus, while I was administrating the files, the host let me open the image, so I'm more confused now.

Like I said, these implications should be expected from a FREE host. They take very little care of things like a paying host does. You can't really complain and should just accept it.

Pay for hosting or put up with random downtime and implications from different parts of the world when loading your site.

The weirdest thing is, I can use another images and they work. Bah, thanks for everything.
I've added a working chat n the web :thumb:
 
The error is in fact neither; its a problem I sometimes get. Your image is saved as header.PNG rather than header.png, for some reason png's are case sensitive on some webhosts. Just edit your code to have .PNG rather than .png.

What's the deal with the frame?

Also, you are missing an opening quote on your href at line 101:
Code:
Designed by: <a href=ht...
Also, your & should be escaped on that line (as &)  and you should properly close your image tags in the format:
Code:
<img src='image.jpg' />
Note the closing slash at the end.

The margin below your header image seems to be slightly larger than the margin above, I'm not sure if that's intended but it would probably look better in symmetry. The little bit of ascii art in the top right corner doesn't serve any apparent purpose other than to link to the current page on each ~, if it's stylistic that's cool but you may have some sort of broken functionality there.

Other than that, it looks pretty good. Minimalistic presentation, the code is clean and simple, and seems to work in a variety of browsers. It's a pretty standard layout, which is good for a simple site, and the colors work well together.

The problem is, It has NOTHING.

Advices, what can I add?
I already added a chat, which I use with some friends, but idk.. maybe use it for my rmxp games

Don't belabor your site with extra crap to make it feel more 'full'. A personal website should not be an online amusement park :) If you want to fill it in, rather than plugging in a bunch of widgets, develop areas based on your interests and let the site act as a hub to connect other people to other websites, such as social networks, that you're involved in. In other words, tell people about who you are and what you do, don't waste time trying to impress them with random junk you can plug in there - they've seen it all before and it has nothing to do with you.
