I am trying to build this family tree webpage for a very dear friend of mine that has passed away and she wanted to do this for her family..Now I am having a bit of trouble here..I made a boarder background for this and now some of my text and one image is setting on that boarder and I can't see to figure out how to get that all to center so that it is not touching that boarder...I am posting the link here so you can see what I am talking about...Any help would be so appreciated...I am doing this in Notepad and not an html editor so this will be done by hand....Help please...I am pretty new to html so I am a green horn here..LOL...

add the line in italics to your body

body {
background-image: url(FilmBbkg.jpg);
margin-left: 125px;
}

If you want the text to be centered in the page, add a right margin also:
body {
background-image: url(FilmBbkg.jpg);
margin-left: 125px;
margin-right: 125px;
}
Gizmo, if you want any more help with the site, let us know.

For the web guys:
She doesn't have a doc type declaration, would this be ok for her?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
I didn't look at much of the code but im guessing its html and not xhtml

Tysm for your help in this...I really appreciate this...
OK did that and it worked for getting that text over where I wanted it but look at the link again. It moved the one image to the left off the boarder but in doing that it also moved the other one to the right which is suppose to be next to it to the bottom. Is there some way to fix this to where they are side by side with a small break in between?

I know which two images you're referring to, but i'm not exactly sure in what order you want the text to appear underneath them. Clarify that for me and we'll get you fixed.

if you want to add some space between the images, you can just add some spaces between them. This is not the ideal thing to do when formatting, because it is not absolute, but in your case, it will save you from more coding. The html code for a space is  
It will take more than one to significantly move them.
