Remove text-align: center; and it'll align to the left.

Well unless you put it in a table or something, you won't be able to left align it and center it.

uh... i tried it and at first it worked den it didn't? heres the link: click here (http://www.geocities.com/atlaznhuni89/temporarypreviewfile.html?10498697492) as you can probably see the text seems to be colliding with the welcum sign... is dere a way u can put the marquee a little bit downer or another way so it doesn't seem all squeezed together? if u can help thanx a bunch...

That's because you have

<table width="350">
<td><td>
<marquee behavior=scroll direction="up" scrollamount="4" style="font family: comic sans ms; color: #000000; size: 10pt; text-align: center;">Heyz!Welcum to my site<br>as you can see this is not done and this is just a trial cuz i onno if i want to make my own site juss yet....</marquee>
</td>
</td>
</table>

try

<table width="350">
<tr><td>
<marquee behavior=scroll direction="up" scrollamount="4" style="font family: comic sans ms; color: #000000; size: 10pt; text-align: center;">Heyz!Welcum to my site<br>as you can see this is not done and this is just a trial cuz i onno if i want to make my own site juss yet....</marquee>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
