I want to get my new site started and i need to know how to put everything where i want it. Please help!!!!<!--content-->georgeafi,<br />

it looks to me like you dont know much html, as you have said.<br />
How do you expect the browser to read your mind and place the image where u want it placed? You have to know some html code of course. <br />
There are plenty of websites out there that have free tuturiols for html and other website related topics.<br />
For ex: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.echoecho.com">http://www.echoecho.com</a><!-- m --> and <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlgoodies.com">http://www.htmlgoodies.com</a><!-- m --><br />
These are the sites ive used to learn how to make some primitive sites.<br />
An easy way to place an image in the center of your website (horizontaly) is the tag <center>.<br />
So you would something like this:<br />
<br />
<html><br />
<head><br />
<title><br />
Name of page<br />
</title><br />
</head><br />
<body><br />
<br />
<center><img src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"whatever.jpg" alt=""></center> <br />
<br />
</body><br />
</html><br />
<br />
This would place your image at the top of the page, in the center.<!--content-->It sounds like you need to get the basics down. Maybe you could start here:<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/">http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
No, you don't need to Download <!--more--> anything. A text editor is all that's needed. Notepad works fine even if you probably want something more fancy later on. You'll may also need a ftp program to upload your stuff.<!--content-->Thanks guys, i looked all ove htmlgoodies but found nothing about using html to put stuff where you want. The other sites i made were with a pagebuilder so i wasn't sure how you would move everything around using html.Thanks again.<!--content-->Originally posted by georgeafi i wasn't sure how you would move everything around using html.Thanks again.

By using CSS.<br />
Here is a nice valid template of how a HTML 4.01 page could look like.<br />
The included button to check validity only works when the page is uploaded to the net though.<br />
<br />
<br />
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><br />

<style type="text/css" title="Default" media="screen"><br />
<br />

.box {width:300px; border:1px solid blue; margin:0 auto 0 auto;}<br />
<br />

<br />

</html><!--content-->give address of website<!--content-->You are going to have to learn alot of stuff. You have tell things on a page where to go. If you type HTML, or other programming things into a search engine, you will get lots of guidance. You can even type in something like, aligning images . . . there's alot of help out there to be had.<br />
