    This is a hard question to answer.

    Are you using tables?

    What software are you using?

    Right now I am just using Seamonkey (A WYSIWYG) editor. My footer just needs to be like a copyright and a few links, that's it.

    You don't need a table for this (note, the copyright symbol is really &#169 ; but without a space between the 9 and the semicolon).

    
<div id="footer">
	<em>Copyright © 2006-2007 The Monster Under the Bed. All Rights to Scare Unsuspecting Children Reserved.</em>
	<ul>
		<li><a href="#">Footer Link Item</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Footer Link Item</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Footer Link Item</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Footer Link Item</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Footer Link Item</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Footer Link Item</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Footer Link Item</a></li>
	</ul>
</div>
    Code (markup):
    Just style that to taste. If you don't know CSS, then ask for help, but I'd need to see your page to do so.

    I'm not using CSS for this page, that's why I'm having trouble with this. The site is very simple and I have no need for any CSS

    Place a table.. make it 3 row table. On the last part of the table if you are using WYSIWYG program then start typing at the last row together with your link. I think that's it. You started your header then footer will no be complicated to you because it's almost the same buddy. Thanks

    CSS makes sites simpler. Buuuuut what you need to do for a footer really depends on how you've got the rest of the site set up. Otherwise, yeah, someone can say "Type this!" and something else further up the page will make the result not what you want.
