  • Do you mean the menu ?
    Is there a particular reason you are using tables ? From a brief look at your layout, there is nothing there that cannot otherwise be controlled just be using CSS, including the tabbed linkbar.
    As it is, you are already using wordpress css, and that is controlling the way you can see the wordpress elements. Unfortunately, the way that you have your page, you have put the complete wp page inside another complete page. This means you have two <head> settings, two <body> settings and various other duplications. I’m afraid that because of this, you will get some peculiar and persistent errors.
    It *is* possible to get your page looking as you want it just using WordPress coding. It will take a bit of work, but then that’s what we are here for 🙂

    Hey its cool i got it sorted using htm tables. But i guess one of these days i should get round to learning css as it will make my life easyer

    Well I see various problems with your blog that ill detail … (and give my humble opinion on how to solve them)
    First, you have a wierd mixture of CSS-based layout (WP default) with table-based layout, this, i think is the main problem.
    When I look at the source page, i see two different doctypes
    Also, at the end of your document you are closing the “html” tag and then adding more code, big mistake.
    You can manage every little aspect using CSS, it makes your page faster to load and easier to maintain (for example if you want all the links to be red instead of blue, just change one of the CSS statments)
    Specifically for WP theres a very good explanation on what to change and where to make your site look like you want, take a look is made for first-time CSS users.
    Finally … CSS is the “in” (and standad compliant) way to design websites… go ahead… try it..
