Some will remember where I started...Take a look at where I have progressed. BTW not everything on the site is linked yet, and some of the links need perks; also I need to know how to bring the size of the entire page from around 950 to 800, not too sure about borders and margins, etc., don't want to mess-up current format of my enter page. I am working with Dream Weaver 8, it kind of expanded on its own. Is that float? I don't want page to have to scroll to the right.
Thanks

I can't see any fixed widths, so I'm guessing you'll need to take out all your none-breaking spaces, You should never need to use them
Instead use margins and paddings
CSS introduces the box model - http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html
margins go on the outside of the box to tell the browser how far the box edge is from the next nearest element
padding goes inside the box to tell the browser how far from the edge of the box the content within the box should be
in css you can define a margin like this
e {
margin:10px 0 1em -30px;
}
the 4 numbers can be of any unit positive or negative. The four numbers read clockwise from top [ie top, right, bottom, left]
alternatively you can specify them one at a time
e {
margin-top:10px;
margin-right:0px;
}
etc etc
same with padding
[1em is the width of the letter 'm' given the current text style, using em allows your margins to adjust with font sizes. I tend not to use them]
borders are interpretted differently by different bowsers; some put the boder on the outside and then add the margin. some put them on the outside as part of the margin. sometimes they go on the inside and mess up the padding. Experiment in different browsers to find out what works best
