    Hello Hello!

    My site is currently like this:

    www.f1driverssecrets.com/f1driverssecrets.html

    But I would like the feel of my site to be more like this:

    www.slashyourlaptimes.com/slashyourlaptimes

    I have 3 questions please:

    1) How do i get that blue padding?

    2) How do i get the lovely rounded corners up the top?

    3) Is it better to use an image or embed the font for the name sign off down the bottom and how do i do this?


    Ultimately obviously a lot less boxy and a lot more professional looking!!

    Thank you lots and lots for your help!

    1) the blue padding is just images, the simplest way to do this would to be to have 3 div's inside a container div, and have them next to eachother, the first div would contain the left side, second would contain the content and the third would have the right side image. You could also use floated divs, but that might just confuse you.

    2) Rounded corners up top are just images, make an image with the rounded corners in your image editor of choice, make sure there's a transparent background and then save it as a transparent .png

    3) It'd be best to just use an image, and it's quite a bit of hassle embedding fonts, until CSS3 comes out, you're best just embedding images.
