I believe that I've solved the problem. I'd be grateful for
confirmation.
It's just this one page right now.
Thank you, everyone. I don't mean to be obstreperous!

By the way, the links on that page do not work, because they're
going
to
a
new domain that will be in operation next week. The old site is at
the
old
address.

Many thanks (even for yelling at me). ; )

Redirect to http://www.granatedit.com/?
The original site http://www.editors-writers.info had a very good page
ranking of 5/10. The redirect ruins all your important backward links
(http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...TF-8&q=link:ht
tp%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eeditors%2Dwriters%2Einfo)

Anyway, it looks good in IE as well as Opera and Mozilla except for the ugly
alignment of the main menu. Probably due to all the
"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"
Also coding like FONT size="1" face="verdana, arial, helvetica" does not
belong in an XHTML DTD

Good to see you have your redirection stuff sorted out.

Why is there this big grey border at the right of my browser canvas? Don't
tell me that it is because *you* wish to limit *my* viewable area because
*you* think the lines may be too long. If *I* think the lines are too long
then *I* will narrow *my* canvas width :-)

And to the left for that matter. I once provided you with a template for
that left hand hav bar that exactly sized the nav bars width to its content,
not some arbitary percentage of the canvas width.

Here is another "fixed" version of your front page, the way *I* would like
to see it. It scales quite nicely to that *my* canvas is and if I feel the
lines are too long then I will change *my* canvas width. more importantly I
can park it over there ---> on the right hand side of my screen area and not
waste real estate. A couple of problems with the layout of the links but
that is left as an exercise for the student, adjust the ems accordingly.

You really must rid yourself of this fixation of "the web page must look
like the printed medium". It never does.

Oh, BTY your CSS is overloaded. Use the KISS principle.

Cheers
Richard.

If the setup with two floating boxes is not optimal, you can always try the
following: Give the content box a left margin and let the menu box float
into that margin.

What's the alternative to a redirect? Just change the domain without doing
anything about the old page? In other words, leave them both up at the same
time and drop the old one after Google lists the new one? I could do that.

I suppose I could create a style for those links, couldn't I?

The font stuff is for the PayPal code. They said not to change it, so I
didn't. Do you think I could apply a style instead without getting into
trouble with them? ; ) (I do try to accommodate the requests of
organizations that allow me to receive credit card payments without my
having to shell out a bunch of money.)

I could do that.

Don't forget to go change all the links that now point to your old domain.
