TOPIC: How do you guys do it?

They have a max width & height and like Mike said it will auto shrink if you have less info.

They have a max width & height and like Mike said it will auto shrink if you have less info.

I have no problem with the auto shrinking but I want it to auto expand.  I made a block with an image and text.  In order for the text to sit next to the image rather than underneath it, I entered them into a table.  It shows up great in the content area but in the header area the block doesn't get wide enough so the words wrap around to the next line so the words are below each other. 

Bert:

I have been told that patience is a virtue. I am still working on that and I encourage you to keep at it. It will come to you in bits and pieces and the satisfaction you will get one of these days when you look at what you have created will be worth it. If you are anything like most of the rest of us you may never be totally satisfied with your site but your point about not knowing how to maintain your site if you don't build it says it all.

Anyone who visits these Forums is willing to help and Dom is always there, willing to help when you need it. He always responds to my pleas in a timely manner and believe me he has more of that virtue mentioned above than I will ever have. Keep at it.

Thanks John.  I have heard about patience.  Something doctors have isn't it?
You are right about the helpfulness of the people here.  I have not noticed one person who is snarly or miserable.  Just the same, I do feel kind of silly having to come with questions all the time. 

Bert, definitely ask away. It helps others out there who might have the same question too. I see you're playing around with different themes which is good. One thing you can do other than a table is right click on the image, click image properties and set it to left align which allows the text to appear on the right. The limitation on theme 3 was that the header + image on the right < 800 pixels as some people still have 800x600 pixel monitors (thankfully less and less).

I know how you feel, Bert.  I'm about ready to throw in the towel also.  I am somewhat "computer literate", but this website building stuff is too much for me.  I NEED to get this website done!  I am having trouble with EVERYTHING!  Content, blocks, menus...you name it.  I can't even get the fonts to do what I want them to do.  I need some help.  I do want to do this myself so I can at least do some editing later, but I'm laying on the floor gasping for air.....
