Right click in your page.
If "Table properties" is an option
on the Context Menu select it.
Set the Width of the table to 100%
and click apply.

If that's not it, we would have to see it to help

Howdy, Green. This coloration is normal for
extraterrestrials. Are you, perhaps, writing from off-
planet?

If not, try avoiding Habanero martinis for a few days.

Oh, that's different. Most likely, you've accidentally
coded a table, column, or cell width way too large. If you
have no clue where to look:

1. Choose Find from the Edit menu.
2. Specify: Find What as width=.
Find Where as All Pages.
Find In Source Code
(or Find In HTML) as selected.
3. Click Find In site.
4. When the search completes, double-click the first
page in the list box.
5. Keep clicking Find Next (and occasionally Next Page)
until you find an uncommonly large width.
6. Reduce that width.

If that doesn't help, post the URL of the problem page to
this thread.

problem, but, as a greenie, it's beyond me. Thanks!

Ok.

There are a couple of things you need to change.
You've used the space bar to position images
and stuff on the page. the problem with this is that
different viewers have their monitors font sizes set at
different settings. This will change the size of the *spaces*
and make things move out of place.

Try using tables and cells for your content.
and then use the left right or center icon on the
toolbar to position items within the tables and cells.

Click Table on the toolbar to insert a table
or click the table Icon. as you mouse over
the icon it will show you how many cells it will
insert in your table when you click to select.

you can have more than one table on a page.

It looks as if you got your width problem fixed.

There's more background space than I would recommend around the top of
the page.

It's usual for the first and largest text on the page to be the name
of your site, and not an announcement.

The housecollage3.jpg, at 71186 bytes, is rather large.

The two paragraphs below the housecollage3.jpg picture are kind of
long for a home page. Consider reformatting these to use a smaller,
simpler font with a plain background, or moving to to subordinate
pages.

The freezing.jpg picture makes up for all.
