Hi Martha; ========================================= I thought my question to you about your site being blue would cause a laugh. See how comfortable you make people feel. With someone else I might have been a little afraid to bring that up. ========================================= LOL. That it did. It was quite priceless and I had a great chuckle. And thank you for the sentiments about being able to speak your mind openly. That makes me feel like I'm doing something right. What, I'm not sure yet - but something... LOL Linda

Linda, I darkened the background but I do have something going on and I don't know why. You can see my seperate tables even though I have the border for the tables set to 0 and as a precaution have the same color set for borders as for tables. Is this normal? I don't ever remember having this. I know you don't do the technical but maybe it is something simple to explain. Martha

Martha, I love your site. I think if you take the suggestions given in this forum to heart...you'll have a 'gold mine'. :) You have available the option to post pictures on both side of the columns. That is my suggestion and make some of the font a tad smaller keeping the things you want to emphasis in bigger letters. I'd experiment with that and have some fun. Have a blessed and successful day!

Hi Janise, Thanks for some feedback. Do you think I should make my top heading in smaller letters? I was afraid to go with the content size smaller in case people couldn't see it. I plan on doing the pictures like Linda said and I did a few but I am waiting until my son comes home for vacation so I can use his good digital and take some better pics. I am also getting my shopping cart set up but something is wrong with it so I have to do a little investigating. Martha

Hi Martha; With the top text, I'd use a br tag to push "Marths's Gourds" to the next line. Keep "Marths's Gourds" the same size, and make "Gourds. Dried, cleaned and ready to craft gourds from" to one size smaller. I'd also change the font to Verdana or Arial. With the lines between the cells showing, it will probably be a little experimenting to see what's causing it. The first thing I noticed is; 1) Your table width is 930, but the three cells are 125, 637 and 153 - which add up to 915. Try making the table 915 - or ading 15 pixels to one of the cells. also... 2) Try changing this [table width="930" border="0" bordercolor="#EEE4DB"] to [table width="930" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bordercolor="#EEE4DB"] If neither of those work to get rid of the spaces, then try "stacking" tables, where the first row is a table.... then close the table and start a second table for the navigation bar. And a third table for the body content. Sometimes the colspan element of tables just doesn't cooperate and forces spaces between cells and the surest way to get rid of them is just to open and close new tables. The bonus to opening and closing new tables is that your pages will load even faster. As each table is "read" by the browser, it will display the contents. So, a page made of stacked tables loads faster than a site made of all one table. Sure hope that helps! : ) Linda P.S. May I also recommend centering the whole page? That way you don't have a huge gap of space on the right side on a 19" monitor. : )
