First this in not Google Groups, it is Usenet, you are just accessing it
via Google Groups. In Usenet folks do not like top posting, it gets very
difficult to follow the conversation. See:

Actually my advice was very useful, Diagnosing presentational problems
can be futile with documents full of markup errors. I gave you
references on how to start. You are obviously doing this
"professionally" so if you expect clients to pay you don't you think you
should at least take the effort to learn the basics first? When I take
my car to the garage I expect the mechanic has has some training!

Here is the validation, get to work...

Result for http://seasideonline.org/2/ - W3C Markup Validator

After your markup is valid, isolating your presentational problem can be
more manageable.

With your original question

Do you mean vertical alignment or horizontal? If so the deprecated HTML
attributes is not that way to control but via CSS.
