Here's my code:

<table border=1pt solid #000000; width=75%; cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"><tr>
</tr>
<td bgcolor="#879892" border=1 bordercolor="#000000" width=100% colspan=20><font family="Book Antiqua" size="4" color="#000000"><div align="center"><b>Grand Opening!</b>&nbsp;posted on Nov.20, 04 by webmis.</div></td></font>
</tr>
<td bgcolor="#eae6e5" border=1 bordercolor="#000000"><div align="center"><font family="Book Antiqua" size="3" color="#000000">Welcome to the grand opening of Ericbal4.net!</div></td></font>
</tr>
<tr>
</table>

Your code is incorrect for the border. It should be:

<table style="border: 1px solid #000000" width=75% cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"><tr>
<td bgcolor="#879892" width=100% colspan=20><font family="Book Antiqua" size="4" color="#000000"><div align="center"><b>Grand Opening!</b>&nbsp;posted on Nov.20, 04 by webmis.</div></td></font>
</tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="#eae6e5"><div align="center"><font family="Book Antiqua" size="3" color="#000000">Welcome to the grand opening of Ericbal4.net!</div></td></font>
</tr>
</table>

thanks a lot!!! i was wondering if you can help me out with one more thing:

you see where i have "posted on, blah, blah, blah" how can i put that to the right?

change align="center" from your div to align="right"

Love,
