Sorry, my fault. I posted it now. It was just goofy looking and I was
ashamed to have it up there. It's live now at http://the316band.com

I'm the novice with css and got this template from somewhere on the
net to get started using css instead of tables. Not sure even what 76%
is. I increased it to 90% though figuring it needed to be higher.

I'll look into that and learn about that also. :-)

If I may, a couple new questions from a rookie.

- In Firefox I get a little red line under my links at the bottom of
the page in the footer section. any way to get rid of those?

- In both IE and firefox an extra space is created directly before and
after every hyperlink. Nothing I do seems to move the "extra" space. I
tried deleting any space which didn't change anything. Still 2 spaces
before and after hyperlinks.

- For some reason in IE sometimes hovering over a link doesn't give
you the url or little hand showing you it's a hyperlink. But you go
back to it again it finally will. I see this especially in the footer
section. It just doesn't seem to like the links very well for some
reason.

I ordered 2 books on css so I can gain some more insight into this. My
next step is to make a file so that I don't have to call the css files
on every page. I forget what they call that but realize how useful it
will be for the entire site to look much better and be easier to
maintain.

Thanks again, I certainly appreciate your help.

Dave
