That is the problem with these kind of editors. You need to get your hands into the code to go anywhere. HTML is not really something that is hard to use. Go to HTML Goodies or another tutorial site and learn some HTML. It will help you out later.

this is superb!

I am not quite sure how I can correct some of the browser conflicts I am having, as I am using a WYSIWYG editor,I will keep updating my site over the next few weeks,and perhaps I should install more browsers on my system so that I can check what everyone can see! I have netscape 6 and msie 5.5 at the moment, and things look ok.I must add that looking at some of your sites, they make mine look EXTREMELY amatuer,but I will persevere,and I thank everyone for their help.This forum is the most useful (one l..lol)that I have found...keep up the good work

Layers don't work in v4.x browsers. In IE 4.0 there's several spots of overlapping text. In NS 4.6 it's just a horrid mess.

The word "useful" has only one "l".

That animated divider gif does not lend an air or professionalism to the site.

You need a logo, not just text in (ugh!) Comic Sans, IMO the most overused and trite looking font on the planet.

You should include contact info.

I agree with Mairving about pointing fingers and aportioning blame.

Get rid of that font! It just makes the text so hard to read and so I gave up. Also I think you are making the site harder work than you need using layers plus layers can do funny things on different browsers. Tables can produce the same look and are much safer.

jim112, welcome to Webmaster Forums.

Well the best thing to do is not to point fingers at people. There are two reasons for this, one is that you may be right, the other is that you may be wrong. If you are right, then expect this other site to try and retaliate. If you are wrong then you have defamed someone and are possibly open to legal action. I would list the scams but not be specific as to sites that practice the scams.

You also need to work on your site design. There really is not much there. What is there should be improved. The text in particular is just plain awful.
