Props for not using a WYSIMYG editor. But if your using plain notepad, I highly suggest going to Notepad++. It's color coded and you can save blocks of code to be used later on. It basically makes things a lot easier to read and look at.
About your website, it looks good and simple. Which is good cause you don't want lots of clutter on your webpage. Clutter = hard to locate stuff = unhappy viewer. The drop down menu, I would make the boxes all the same size. They are at the moment except Story. Also, I would make the boxes the full size of the drop down menu cause right now it looks kinda odd when it has 20+ pixels of white space just kinda there. Also, on the links always make sure to include the full address. You used a shortcut and put
bloodofthegods.net instead of
http://bloodofthegods.net so it ended up linking you to
bloodofthegods.net/bloodofthegods.net giving a 403 error because it doesn't exist so I would fix that. (It's just the nav links the drop down box is fine)
Also, as stripe mentioned, I would delete the test body post as you already know it works.
But it does look good. Props for your first one.
