    I am trying to get my website onto the net, but I can get the template im using or any images to show. i am using kompozer and a free template to create my pages. i asked someone on hostgator, and they said there was something wrong with my code. im starting to learn a little about coding, but not enough to understand whats not right with the template code and why the images arent showing. can someone please help me figure it out???

    Yeah, posting some code snippets will help folks understand the issues you may be facing.

    You won't get much help from anyone if you don't.

    <h1><small>From my home to yours...</small></h1>
    <p>As a first time mom, I wanted more than anything to give my
    baby the best. I wanted to breastfeed, co-sleep, and of course cloth
    diaper. &nbsp;Unfortunatly, I knew almost nothing about cloth
    diapering other than the few things I heard from my mother in law. It
    sounded gross and difficult to boot. I didn't feel like it was
    something I could do and I had no support. Fast forward nine years to
    my third baby and I am happily using - and loving - cloth diapers. In
    that short amount of time, cloth diapers have come amazingly far. They
    are incredibly easy to use and easy to care for. Not at all what I
    pictured all those years ago.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>I
    am happy to bring this website to you - to help guide you through the
    ins and outs of cloth diapering. I know how many questions you have,
    and Eco Baby Buzz has the answers for you. And not just about cloth
    diapering, but about babywearing, attachement parenting, and work at
    home mom made products too. I wish you luck and much joy as you begin
    your exciting journey into cloth diapering and natural parenting!</p>

    just delete the hieght of the leftnavi and the right one so it will be fluent.

    i jsut saw you got a stylesheet why don't you use it to give the text a id an then position it so oyu dont need to use space
