Thank you so much for helping me with those 3 issues. I have gone ahead and made the left and right column different widths and used different background images to fit. I will change colors later to something nice but for now I am using rather loud colors so I can see what I am doing.

I am sorry for the huge picture I had posted. I forget at times my screen is set for 1680 x 1050 and so my pics are very large. I will try to remember.

Thanks again.
