I've been playing around with the layout for my website but there are a few things I can't figure out.
1. If I want a coloured box around my header image how do I put it in my div's
2. I'd like menu buttons for my links..what is the best way to do this.
3. any other suggestions to help would be great
I'm just looking for a more friendly layout in general! any help would be great!!!
thanks

If you want a colored box (nothing special looking though) try simply adding the text to a fixed size break <br width= height= font color=> to where you have the text. For the menu buttons I haven't worked with them too much, but would look into some Java codes that you could cut and paste, then modify for additional pages you are offering (there are some nice ones out there for free on some of the different sites). For simplicity, ease of use, and design you might want to break the page into cells and tables that you can then "turn off" the borders by specifying the same background color as your page. This would better align the contents of your page and make them very uniform in how the look in the presentation.

<div id="center" style="border: #000000 2px solid;">
<center><h1>Home of the Kingston Ponies</h1></center>

-----You can change the red, the colour 000000 can be changed to any you want, using the colour codes here (http://www.lissaexplains.com/color.shtml). You can change the 2 to what width you want the border, and the solid can be changed to dashed or dotted :)
