and HELP!!!<!--content-->There are numerous open tags without closing tags.<br />
<br />
You keep saying Div page, are you talking about --CSS Style Divisions?<br />
<br />
Unless I missed it I did not see any style tags in your code.<!--content--><BODY><br />

That will give you a margin and main body for content.<!--content-->I place that code on the page...It got the text to the right and the nav bar top left...but I would like to have the text start top line next to CONTACT US bar..how do I do that...I do not know what to set margin at?? would that fix it...?<br />
<br />
maybe I am talking about css...I just want two colums to work with one for nav bar and other for text/pics..<!--content-->Start with a margin width of 200 or 20%. (experiment with sizes)<br />

The search function of these forums is very helpful.<br />
Spend some time looking at the results of the examples of questions that you ask in the search.<br />

Look behind the curtain of other websites that you are trying to get a simular layout like.<br />

That is the best way to sort it out.<br />
<br />
If you want the top line to start at the same level as "contact" it may be as simple as using a couple <br> tags.<!--content-->Well finally I managed to fix it..with LOTS OF HELP from everyone..and most Thanks goes to KWJAMS...THANKS A MILLION!!!:hug: Please look and see what you think now...<br />

I know there is some mistakes on them..I am working on that..if you find any please let me know exactly where they are cause my eyes are old and mind is feeble..hair is blonde and my fingers hurt after 3 days and nights at this..Thanks to all who have helped and that will continue to help. I have a links page for Boating if anyone wishes to submit there site (Boat Related) I will gladly do that in exchange for a return link..also I will be adding a On the Web page tonight that is where I will put everything else..you are welcome to submit links for that page also.. submit by email to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><!-- e --> and place Link Submit in subject line..once again Thanks to ALL!<br />
<br />
I have another question now? Since I have split up the site into several pages now..and I am listed at Yahoo, Aol, and Google do I have to re-submit all of the pages or will the spiders pick-up the extra pages???<!--content-->Spiders usually pick up new content within a month or two. Make sure that the page(s) that are listed on SERPs do contain pointers to the other pages to make this happen.<br />
<br />
Google will see keywords like boat,Boat,BOAT as keyword spamming. Don't repeat the words. Use phrases rather than single comma-separated words.<br />
<br />
The script on the first line hides the !DOCTYPE. If that is added by the server, then it really ought not to be the very first line of the file. That is reserved for the !DOCTYPE, which must be the very first line.<br />
<br />
