Wow, Shawn, you have some good suggestions! It took
me awhile to understand most of it. I'll probably
work on the easiest one for me first. I got some free
website template on the internet to help me get
started. I didn't know what to look for when choosing
one. Can you give me an example or refer me to a site
that has the page width set to a %? You also
mentioned not using tables. How do I do that if I
want to make three columns on my page?
Thanks again for all your help,
Maria
