The best way to learn coding is to steal the code of pages you like. I stole most of my code from Maayan, who's a very clean designer. I'm not in any way good, but I've learned a bit.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

No problemo, Allyson. By the way, without the table tags, you also want to get rid of the tr, td, /tr and /td tags. They're only used within tables.
Oh, I just noticed that you took out the word "table", but left in the rest of the tag. You need to get rid of the whole thing, i.e. the entire t BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="30" COLS="0" WIDTH="80%"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
oooh, but how do I properly space between objects without cellpadding, jon?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
If there's no table, there are no cells, so no cell padding. One way to add spaces without using a table is to use . Each one equals one space. It'll be hard to line things up, though.
Another way is to create a one pixel clear gif image, and then insert the image wherever you need to space things. You can vary the size of the space by changing the width attribute (and/or height, too) in the image tag.

Just use one big table around the whole thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yet again, I come to the Buffistas, because I'm exhausted trying to even understand the instrucitons I've found on the internets.
I'm running BitTorrent. It works. But the website lists people I can't connect to, who don't even show up on my peers list. For instance, in my peers list, there's one peer with 100% of the thing I want, and I can't connect to him. (I want to kill him. He's just sitting there, hoarding it.) What is the reason for this? I've disabled my Windows firewall entirely, which I know is a bad idea, and apparently I'm not on a router, just a cable modem, so I shouldn't have to forward any goddam ports or whatever, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do to actually connect to the peers who are clearly there.
Can anyone clue me in to the inscrutable secret here? Seems I don't deal with frustration well.

Thanks all for the help. I'm pretty much done with the bones of it, mulling putting a photo of myself on there, is that craxy?
I'm sure there's a lot of extra code snarling up the works, so I'm going to take you up on your offer, Plei. Thanks so much!

Def. put a photo on there, Allyson!

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm running BitTorrent.
What client are you using?
Zenkitty - Sep 11, 2005 12:48:58 pm PDT #4474 of 10003

uh... BitTorrent 4.0.4. That's the client, right?
I know nothing, really. I shouldn't be allowed near a computer.
