Here's some comments:

I like the orange color scheme. I think it might be even more appealing if you added a gradient to the orange background (perhaps getting lighter towards the bottom of the page).
I like the logo in the header. I might include some sort of catch-phrase or subheading under the name but above the horizontal navigation bar to quickly tell visitors what your site is about. Something like "Free Flash Games Online" or something of that nature.
To much vertical space for the Google search. I'd rather see more of your content without having to scroll down.
Set your page title to something appropriate so "Home Page" doesn't show up on the IE title bar.
Random Movie Generator link goes to a page titled Random Music Generator.
On the Action, Sports, and Other pages there are different items per row. This looks strange when going from one page to the next. Make it the same on all the pages.
On the Stun Attack page, the tons of links on the horizontal nav bar looks bad. Too many.

Off to a good start. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Your index page says "Home Page" in the title bar
change it to flash games or something like that
it is a main search engine factor

put the google ads along the side and keep all the thumbnail close to each other

another thing.. dont bandwidth hijack its not a nice practice. the games are small copy them to your own server if u have permission.

not bad for a beginner, good choice of colors and layout is well organized. Would recommend if you center the google search box and make the body a little bit wider.

Maybe you should check out some arcade webmaster resources such as talkarcades.com and arcadewebmasters.com

Just read a lot of online tutorials and EXPERIMENT, thats how i learned everything i know today, overall its not a bad first website, keep working at it and you'll get there eventually.

I would start with html, then css, and maybe php when you want to more advanced things.

edit: also thats not a very good template to learn on, there is to much javascript, i would get a different template from a website and customize it yourself.
