Not sure exactly what I've done but could someone help me figure out how to get the h3 line to go down about four spaces so its not cutting into my banner. I've tried taking it out completely but it just doesn't work out, puts the text beneath it in its place. What am I doing wrong? How can I get things to line up properly.

A link to the site would be most beneficial.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

Hi Tom,
sadly i don't have it uploaded yet because I'm trying to polish it... How can I upload the 'page' without erasing my crappy old site that's up now?

Give the page a new name temporarily so that you can just give us a link to that page.
Header tags have extra space around them by default, and usually the only way to overcome this is by using a workaround in the code which uses a minus margin (eg. margin-top: -10px;) which will bring the content closer. You have to be careful though as some browsers don't seem very happy with this workaround.

You don't have to use a negative margin. You can set it to 0 or any positive number. But a link would help as it may be fixed by adjusting the padding or margin on different elements.

I have a link but I'm not sure if it's going to do much good as the page itself doesn't show any of the graphics...and i'm not sure if its because I haven't uploaded them or what...but I'm going to try that.
You can find it here:

I'm hoping to get this revamped site up and going this weekend so any and all help is greatly appreciated. I love this company and the way everyone is so friendly - I know I'm pretty new and inexperienced with this but I don't feel dumb at all

I give up!!! I have no idea what I did.
I've lost the theme I was using, all that's there is my custom banner and nothing is lining up! What have I done wrong...
Obviously I am a total dunce with this...should stick to VSD - but I need/want to learn coding. Aghhh....

It's not displaying the styles because it's looking for a style sheet in the css folder
and the browser can not find it there
reports a 404 file not found
css/default.css

To me it looks as if you might not have uploaded the css file to style the page.
No wait... I think the problem is that you have created your css file as an html file by the looks of things.
The css file should only have the css stuff on the page, and none of the header or doc type information that you normally have on your html page.
So remove all this from your separate css file...
and all that follows too
and that should help.
