What looks good? What doesn't look good? Any suggestions at all?

I take critisism well.

For one thing have consistancy in fonts: some parts are Sans Serif while others have serifs.

Are you talking about the banner at the top of the page? As far as I know all the rest of the text other than that is Verdana. Think I should do something about that?

No, not that; for example the left side bar is Times new Roman while the right one is Verdana.

filburt is correct about the font mixup.

Also, in the three dark colored boxes under your header. The text is almost touching the border, makes it look kinda weird to me. Try putting in cellpaddin=2 or something like that.

Hmm...I'm not sure why that is. It looks like Verdana to me (on my browser all the text on the entire site looks the same), could it have something to do with my browser? I went back in and changed a few tags around,maybe that helped.

I thought that it had something to do with my default font on my browser being verdana, but when I went in and changed it, the page stayed the same. I'm a tad confused.

I did this. Thanks, looks better.

Would it be possible for one of you guys to check to see if I managed to fix the fonts? They look exactly the same as they did before to me, but then again it all looked uniform to me in the first place.

And any ideas why it looks like all the same font to me, but not to you?

Thanks.

Ah, thanks, now I see what you mean. I wonder why it's not coming up like that for me.

This is how it looks to me. I went back through all of the pages and replaced
<span class=normal>

with

<span class="normal">

could that possibly be causing that?

It should be the latter, regardless.

Make sure you have IE's encoding and font settings on their defaults; the Greek encoding settings IIRC use sans serif fonts by default.

I think I finally got it looking the way it's supposed to. I had a mixed up code in my .css file, but for some reason it was showing up the way I intended it to, for me. I just ended up downloading Netscape, looking around using that, and figured out what it was.

Thanks guys.

It's looking better now :)
