I have a question. Erich feel free to move this post to where it is acceptable. On my site, there is only one column on the left side and the page is pretty narrow. My question is: Does anyone know how do I make my site fit on all the page and add another column on the right side. If you look at my site www.talfighel.com , you can see that there is only one colomn at the left side. I want it to look like Erich's site where he has a right and left column. Anyone? P.S. I have already finished all the phases but this is what I want to change on my site. P.P.S I will also, very soon, change my domain name so that is has work at home in it.

Hi Talfighel--
Your site is pretty narrow, it is only 650 wide. It is pretty easy to make it fit on one page.. if you look at your code, your first table tag has width set at 650 and the 2nd window tag is set at 600. Change both of these to width="100%" and your page will span the entire width of the browser.
Problem is, your header graphic will also expand and distort making it look not very professional. You may want to try and convert your site using the 3 Phase Template Jim has provided, although that means pretty much starting over.
To add another column, add another table data after the center page. Lines 28-183 is your left column data. Copy these lines of code after the 2nd </TD> on line 613 and you will have another column placed on the right of your page.
I just tried this on a copy of your site and it looks pretty good, except for the distorted header banner graphic. I personally do not care for a page that expands with the browser because as the page changes size, the data shifts. What is perfectly aligned at one size, will most likely be out of align at different sizes, so I like a fixed size page. If fixed, the page should not be larger than 775. Opinions vary on this, and others here have fantastic looking sites that expand with the browser, so ultimately it's your choice how you want your page to look.
Give a shout if you can't get the above changes to work.

Tom,
I tried it a few times but I can't get it to work.
Do you have the code for that?

I didn't save the old one, but I added a left column to the one you have on your site now ... looks like you changed it and got the size fixed to span the entire browser window. If you want your blue one doctored up as well give me a link to it or email me. I sent you the updated index file via email, let me know if you got it.

Tom,
No I did not get your email. If I can get another column on the right side of my site, I will be very happy. I will also change the domain name so that it has work at home in it.
I am also thinking of adding my pic to my site.
Tom, can you send me an email to talfighel25@hotmail.com and help with add another column. I will appreciate it very much.
Tal

Tal--
I just sent it again. I wonder why you didn't get the one from yesterday ... same email address. Maybe it is being consumed by the spam filter? Did you check your bulk email box? Let me know if you don't get this one and we will try another route.
Tom

Tom, I got your email and I also changed the HTML so that I have 2 columns. www.talfighel.com/back-up-for-test-site.htmlNow I will need to work on it and change the links and banners on the right column. Then when it is ready, I will add the HTML to my INDEX.html Thanks for the help buddy. I appreciate it very much. Tal
