So I'm building a new layout, or at least trying to, and you know I got it working, so far, but then I noticed that when the aligment is a bit off. like for the adds and stuff

and plus the text is just flying off the end of the page!

Please just check it out here

http://www.reviewsandsuch.com/tryingout/index.php

I have tried to make the template background image repeat, and then that was just awful, because the whole background image is the whole template, I've just made everything fit where it should go.. woops. I went the easy way I guess..

Also I would like there not to be that whole white areas around it, how do I fix that?

Can you guys please help me out with that?

Thank you SOOO Much

If you don't want any white around your parchment background, then change the color you have set on the body to something besides white.

You have lots of problems there;
1 - you've got just about everything set to position:absolute - this in itself causes problems. Learn to use the normal document flow and floats and all that positioning won't be necessary.

2- You've put your navigation in a TABLE ?? WHY ? To top it off, your table isn't even correct ! You've got NO <table> and no table rows <tr> - that's just bad coding. Besides you don't need them, use an unordered list for your navigation.

3 - <font> tags ??? GAAAHH.. you should use CSS to specify STYLING on text, including the font.

4 - You've got text, but nothing inside paragraphs - your text should be wrapped in <p></p> tags.

5 - font-weight: italic is invalid - 'italic' is NOT a font-weight
6 - You've got all kinds of errors in your coding, html and CSS. CSS is case-sensitive= 'nav' is NOT the same as 'nAV' and it will NOT work.
7 - Get rid of all the <br>s and use padding margin to space PARAGRAPHS - that is, after you put your text inside <p> tags in the first place.
8 - There is no such tag as <left>.
9 - dump the <center> tags too -- use CSS to center things - including the layout.
10 - "majik" as a font will ONLY work if users have that font on their machines, otherwise all they'll see is a substitution - like Arial.

Clean up your coding and you'll have better luck.
