The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

I know this isn't a "Site Review" but I have to say that I really encourage you to use CSS to get rid of the <font> tags.

Anyway...

Where you have your "New Layout" and the date you want that to be centered, so, get rid of the font tags and use CSS. In the <TD> tag, take out the "Center" and do it like this:

<td>
<p align="center" class="date">11/8/02</p>
<p align="center" class="header">NEW LAYOUT</p>
<p align="left" class="bodyText">BLAH BLAH BLAH...</p>
</td>

Where the "date", "header" and "bodyText" would be specified in the CSS as far as font-family, color, etc...

Know what I mean??? hehe

Or if you are going to use CSS use text-align:

Emps

no no no see i want the date, title, and news all on the left but not past the devider, just on the edge you see......

In the <TD> that contains your Date, Title & News change:

<TD ALIGN="CENTER">

to

<TD>

And hay persto... No more centered text. You may also want to play with the padding values so the text won't but up against the menu panel completly though.

Oh, and please don't center all of the menu options... Make them really hard to read through.

Are you calling the menu on the left the "devider". I think that may be confusing me.

If so Dracusis' way will work. Sometimes the padding thing doesn't always work for me so I like to put a "dummy" tag in there. Say right after the tag with the Horizontal line, put in another <td width="10%">no breaking space</td> and that will give you just a little room between the menu and the body of the text.

When my feet upon the ground, I loose myself between the sounds. And open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin.
I?m reaching up and reaching out, I?m reaching for the random or, whatever will bewilder me, whatever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one?s been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one?s been. Spiral out. Keep going.
