Hello,
I have to do this website for school and I'm really not that good with dreamweaver. I have done sites in Freeway just fine, but I need to learn dreamweaver once and for all.
Its going to be a simple site, at least at first - but I can't figure out how to make sure the text in this one cell of a big table does not hug the corners. I believe I need to adjust the cell spacing or padding, but then the whole table goes haywire! Its just the main text area - see below!
Please help. I have tried to many designs of this stupid site and none of them are working out nicely.
Here was the last design that I abandoned since it was so hard to add lots of text to without it going crazy with the complex table. (It is an editted FireworksMX template)

i kinda like the design. small and compact. i do not really like the need for a popup window, but hey, it works.
you could put the entire site in a table and then that table in a table, that spans the 100% of the page and valign=center and then your little square site will be dynamically centered on a page.
is the top rounded edge block got an innershadow? maybe make that a _bit_ more innershadow-ed.
and one more thing before i shut up. the text that you were hassling with. i have not opened dreamweaver in a while, but what about justifying the text. i know how to do it in a plain .css style sheet.
if you add these lines to your .css file then all text in a " < td > " will have these properties:
td {
margin: 0px;
padding: 3px;
color: #000000;
font-size: 8pt;
font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif
text-align:justify;
}
just my 2c... use it, don't use it
