On my screen it's not showing up small, it's taking the whole screen. I have 800*600 resolution.

On 1024 res, it in the middle with some black borders on either side.

I'm not sure i'm seeing what you are seeing.

I did notice your coding is a mess though, you want to put all your style in one tag. It's still working but it's neater to put it all in one tag.

<style type="text/css">

body { ...]

and so on

thanks, Im still learning all of this stuff, but i sure wish i could see what your seeing, because it looks really tiny to me, lol I just went to the page this morning, and now its filling the whole thing. and i didnt do anything, Guess i should be thankful though it still doesnt look like its supposed to. thanks a bunch. this ccs and html stuff is still quite a challenge to get right, thanks again

Sometimes you need to hit shift and refresh on your browser or clear out the temp files. Sometimes they don't show the changes if you just simply hit refresh ;)
