Hey Lauren,
Don't sell yourself short. I'm using CSS because the template I
downloaded uses CSS. I wouldn't dream of trying to create a website
today from the ground up, unless it was a simple text page.
I really don't know CSS, which is why I posted the request for help.
I don't want to redesign the first page using tables, as that kind of
defeats the purpose of downloading a template in the first place.
N.B. - I have forwarded the issue/question on to the original
template designer. Still waiting to hear from him.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. It's much appreciated!
Elizabeth
