So your site is going to be made out of images only?

You didn't show us the CSS code -- the css/gshd.css file.

This looks like the culprit:

position:absolute;

Change all to:

position:center;

that did not work the page was all screwed up

try this in your css:

body {
text-align: center;
}

sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. it may not since you're using absolute positioning.



if that's the case, then i think you may have to not use absolute positioning and switch to relative. alternatively, you could add left: auto and right:auto but that may not work...

body {margin: 0 auto; width:1004px;}

width is a parameter, it depends on your target resolution.

#wrapper {

margin-left: auto;
