Hello, I'm barely starting to learn html and started building my website today. It's really frustrating and hopefully I'll get the hang of it. Well I have three questions to ask: <br />
<br />
1) If you go to my website...<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://members.fortunecity.com/centertopic">http://members.fortunecity.com/centertopic</a><!-- m --> you will see the words "say what?"...how can I put those words in the middle of the page? <br />
<br />
2) Once clicking "say what" you will go to the main page. As you can see, something is wrong about the margin. Isn't the margin supposed to be longer? I tried so hard trying to fix that but you can check out the source and see what I did wrong on my html. <br />
<br />
3) On top of the margin you will notice that it says "Hello"...how can I make my text messages be next the margin instead of the top? <br />
<br />
Well...those are my 3 questions. I hope you understood what I meant by them, but I would REALLY appreciate the help because it gets really frustrating to know how to fix something...lol. Thank you so much! <br />

i think i know what you are looking for...<br />
try this: in the body tag of your page define the margins.<br />
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"><br />
the number 0 in each setting is pixels, thus changing the numbers to 20 will push the page down 20 pixels (or to the left)<br />
<br />
3.)<br />
i'm a little confused by what you are asking on this one... do you want to have the hello to the left of the table containing the links?<br />
<br />
hope it helps! and feel free to ask more!<br />

</TD><br />
<!--the rest of my webpage stuff goes here--><br />
Hello<br />
<TD VALIGN=TOP><br />
<br />
</TD><br />
=========<br />
Hello is not in a td, so it will jump out of the table.<br />
