Nope.. not kidding. The look I want is only acievable by having the image stay the same size on all pages - or fit to page. I can't believe there is no way to do this. I guess I'll just have to make a way. I guess I can break it up. But that would require more knowledge than I have in HTML design, or a wysiwyg editor to lay out the images, which I refuse to use.
Notepad and text editor all the way. lol

No not at all. I found out how to do that though. Same CSS style sheet I tried but different attributes.

As for a page link, If I ever get it up and running on a server like I was supposed to do last week, I will gladly link it and show you what I mean.

Right now it is just in the development stages so far.
(Not a team website either - personal one.)
