In both of them, they look great when I do it in frontpage, but then the photos end up in the wrong place. This is the church example: http://www.fbclinden.com/missions.html The photo under the text "2008 Missions Conference" looks centered in the boxin fp, and now it's off to the left. A friend with a different screen says hers is skewed worse than mine. Also, on my business website (I haven't decided on a website name yet) there is a ton of dead space to the righ. Is that fixable? http://vickgould.dot5hosting.com/ Thanks for the help! I've been googling all sorts of things to try to get answers with no success.

Under Layout select Middle from the drop-down box. Save, Republish. _____________________________ Larry M.

At first when I did it, it didn't want to work, but then I put spaces in front of the photo and seems ok now. It looks right on my screen now and I hope it looks right on everyone else's too.

With that said, however, the graphic positioning looks fine in both IE & FF _____________________________ Larry M.

If and when you have time, if you know how to kill my dead space on my other website (I did get my website name today), I would really appreciate that too. Or if it's too long and you know of some free online tutorial, that would be great too. The site is www.victoriasgould.com and each page has dead space to the right. Thanks again!

Thumbnail Image maybe someone can recommend a free, simple image optimiser for saving jpegs with preview ? ;) Attachment (1) < Message edited by d a v e -- 4/27/2008 5:39:21 > _____________________________ David Prescott Gekko web design (in reply to vickgould)
