Have you tried looking on the HTML section on LEA?

If that doesn't explain it then, I dunno. That is the best explaination.

What exactly are you tring to do? You could look in the CSS section of LEA. There is an absolute align http://www.lissaexplains.com/css.shtml

What do you not understand? What are you tring to do? What is your host? What program are you using?

yeah, I'm confused!

But, I'll try and help.
If you just want it up at the top/center, then before you put your image in, use the center tag, then put your image, couple lines, then your text. Like so:
<center>
<img src="image.jpg">
<br><br>text text text

if you want left/right, use
<div align="left">
or
<div align="right">
inplace of the center tag.

When you want to end your alignment, for center, use
</center>
And for the left or right, use
</div>


Is any of that what you wanted?

your stuff here is indeed where your text, images, etc. goes :)

To get the left frame colored, put <body bgcolor="#color"> as your body tag. For the other frame (the main one), use <body background="image.gif"> instead. I know how complicated HTML is for beginners.
