<br>Jimi hendrix to begin with is a guitar player, but there is much much more that we will never understand, but i do more than or as most as some one elase..i have read alot of books and listened to him every day for the last 3 years.<br>

is this the page you mean?
if so, i would just point out a couple of things:

<title>Jimi hendrix fan club</title>Okay.
<img src="mankowitz_jimi_big.jpg"><H3>Jimi Hedrix</H3>[/b]yes indeed, this stuff should not go into the head, it should be in the body. Also, if you define the font before you put in the <h3> then the heading will display using that font, rather than whatever generic serif font the browser is set to. One more thing, you must set an 'alt' attribute for all your images or people who cannot or do not load images on their browser will not know what it is a picture of. Also, you should specify in your html the size in pixels of the image, so that the page can load faster and so that if the image does not load, the page structure is still the same shape. An example follows: <img src="mankowitz_jimi_big.jpg" height="300" width="250" alt="Picture of Jimi by Mankowitz"> I didn't check if those dimensions were correct, but you get the gist...
Also you misspelled Hendrix.
</head>Who is Jimi hendrix</head>Now you opened your head tag once above, and you have closed it twice here. You only need one head tag per document and you cannot close a tag you never opened. Also, for headings you might want to use a tag such as <center></center>.
<br>Jimi hendrix to begin with is a guitar player, but there is much much more that we will never understand, but i do more than or as most as some one elase..i have read alot of books and listened to him every day for the last 3 years.<br>unfortunately this is not good english. i won't nitpick here, but good grammar and spelling is 100% necessary to convince people you can design web pages.
<BODY bgcolor="99ffff">now i don't think you need all of those new lines in there (edit - there are about 12 new lines above, however UBB has sensibly condensed them.), although they are not hurting the display of your html, they just make the source look odd. One other thing, if you define the background colour, always define the text colour as well, or people might not be able to read your site, even if you want to define the text as pure black. Example, i would have put <body bgcolor="#99ffff" text="#000000" link="#660000" vlink="#006600"> or something like it.
Also, as mentioned above, all the stuff that you want to be displayed onscreen should go after the <body> tag.
</body>
</html>fair enough, i like this bit. 
not meaning to insult you, just a quick run through of what i noticed, when i was getting to grips with html, it took me a bit to figure out some little details...
