Settings for text on home page

Hi guys, I ran some searches and didn't find much so here's a question or two. On my home page I want to move my text/photo up and to the left so as to better use the space on the pages and not have huge margins of blank white space. I also want to change the font spacing so that my home page verbage has more space between each line. I've read a css spacing tutorial but I'm still not sure what to do. The text just seems jumbled to me and I want it to be easier to read. If you have any idea how to make these adjustments please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Re: Settings for text on home page

You have used an inline style to align that text to "justified" as the existing style calls for it to be left, not justified. This text needs no additional help to be aligned left... you actually changed it from left.

See here

<div id="indexDefaultMainContent" class="content"><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="19" align="left" valign="top" width="282">
      [B]<p align="justify">[/B]<span class="style13">W</span>elcome to Mower Parts Supply. We wholesale parts and accessories  for Echo, Redmax, Stihl, Robin, Husqvarna, Shindaiwa, Toro, Exmark,  Bunton, Snapper, MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Murray, Briggs and  Stratton, Tecumseh, Kohler, Kawasaki, Honda, and many more. We stock a full line of belts, blades, air filters, lubricants, trimmer lines, rebuild kits, and OEM replacement parts. We are adding products to this web page frequently so if you need a part or accessory not found on our site please call our knowledgeable/friendly staff for assistance. We ship all orders via FedEx Ground at 5 p.m. central standard time; all orders received by 4 p.m. are likely to ship same day. </td>

      <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="19" align="left" valign="top" width="294"><img src="http://www.mowerpartsupply.com/images/mower_blower_trimmer.gif" alt="pictures_of_lawn_equipment" width="280" height="300" /><br />    </td></div>

Get an editor for your code and use ZC's text function, the editor makes depreciated and terrible code.

Then you can hit the stylesheet to attack the line height to make it clearer if you still need.
