I've been working on a website for my BMX clothing company. I was originally using Yahoo Site Builder but, it really wasn't working for me. I switched to Mozilla composer and I published one part of the site fine. Then I decided to change the main page (index.html) and when I went to publish it this happened: www.downfallbmx.com It's all broken text and I don't know how to fix it. I tried deleting everything and starting over. I tried publishing it again with Yahoo Site Builder. Nothing works and I'm totally clueless. Help would be much appreciated.

No, it does not, Yahoo uses HTML like anything else !

It almost looks to me as if it's trying to display something besides an html file.

Yahoo's site builder is not likely the problem. For rank beginners, Yahoo's site builder isn't all that bad. I've seen it, poked around in it, it's ok for someone who knows nothing about html.

I just looked at your URL.. seems to be working now.

I was just using it as a figure of speech. Yahoo site builder is not that great for building your first website. It dont teach you anything.

No, it doesn't, can't argue with you there. But your assertion that Yahoo! Sitebuilder was the problem with his/her site was incorrect.

Why have you set your anchor colour the same as the background? It was only by chance that my mouse found it as all I could see on loading your page was the message "click to enter". I tried clicking on this and found it was not set as an anchor and my mouse just happened to stray above this to the link.
On your news page you need to set margins for your text so that the content doesn't butt right up to the containing box.
Apart from your background image none of your images loaded, have you specified the correct path or have you loaded them in the wrong folder?
Whilst speaking of your background image I fail to see the relevance of this to your site content.
