Code:
.logo {
    font:18px times new roman;
    color: #0E177C;
    letter-spacing:.3em;
    font-weight:bold;
    line-height:22px;
    }

.tagline {
    font:11px times new roman;
    color: #CC3300;
    letter-spacing:.2em;
    }

.smallText {
    font:12px times new roman;
    color: #CC3300;
    line-height:18px;
    }

.pageHeader {
    font:30px times new roman;
    color: #CC3300;
    letter-spacing:.1em;
    line-height:38px;
    }
    
.bodyText {
    font:11px arial;
    color:#333333;
    line-height:24px;
    }
    
.pageName {
    font:20px georgia;
    color: #CC3300;
    letter-spacing:.1em;
    line-height:26px;
    }
    
.subHeader {
    font:14px times new roman;
    color: #003399;
    font-weight:bold;
    line-height:20px;
    letter-spacing:.1em;
    }
    
.navText {
    font:10px arial;
    color: #333300;
    letter-spacing:.1em;
    }
Notice the different fonts? It's from your CSS file.

Body Tables:
Code:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="610">
Try:
Code:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="50%">
Align them correctly? Would that be centre, middle, right, or justified? Any of these you can do in your CSS file.

Now, I'm sure there is somebody who will tell you not to use tables and rather do it all in CSS

Well im a big supporter of the web 2.0 thing as i would assume the 'rouge clad female' is. But tables are still very usefull and i use them all the time. But only for tabular data.

That would be the lady yes

I would dump tables in a flash if I had the time to study the CSS required. They can get pretty messy (and confusing) when you have a couple of nested tables...

I'll get there...one day when I'm big

Look at the font names. Some are "Times New Roman", some are "Georgia", some are "Arial". If you want the same font throughout, change them all to the same font name.

Your file will be called something.css > that's the one you have to look at.

Ummm..... the rouge clad female is here... LOL

To clarify, "web 2.0" is not what I advocate, it's Standards-based coding, CSS, semantic markup, and accessibility. Web 2.0 is more about 'the look' and applications.

I don't see a table on the right on the stores page, and I'm seeing your images. Did you change it ?

Tables were meant for tabular data, and they should still be used for that. What they should not be used for is page layout.

Hello there, here is my dilema - When i put a table on the right hand side it appears center right of the page, when i finally managed to get it top right of the page aligned with the tables on the left - in firefox its fine, on internet explorer browser it's a mess
