Hey Misthios,

For basic centering you can always use the <center> tag. <Div> can also be used but
also can add a lot of options. Is your content in a table? Is so just tell the table to align
to to middle.

Hope that helps.

I would avoid the <center> tag, as it is depreciated in HTML 4 and can't be used in XHTML. You can center a <div> by adding style="margin:0 auto" to it.

It is good to see your trying to make a move away from tables. It worth it in the long run.

Are you going to keep it on http://www.geocities.com/ or are you looking for some better hosting for it?

I see that now. But be didn't say that in the first post! So I didn't know. It's not my fault! :whistling:
But ya, good luck with your site man, just keep posting if you have any other questions. And I'll keep PMing Michael and argue with him on topics.
