@Eric Thanks Eric I really do appreciate your help and way of teaching me. I do understand some things and some of them I am working on. I'm building a new website for a gaming expansion and will probably need some advice in the near future, but so far it's going smoothly, have a look at www.torchboard.org. I am going on vacation for a week but i'll study my hardest when I get back.

@Prism Hey Prism, I bookmarked the link but am on my way out of state for a week so i'll be back to study this website when I get back. I appreciate all of the help you guy's are doing and really will hit the books when I get back. The site I mentioned to Eric is my latest site, I used a theme and just altered most of it and added some code from other pages. The address to my latest site is www.torchboard.org however when I get back i'll try and start writing one from scratch and see what I come up with. Thanks again Prism!!

Ahh! Matt do not thank me,This is just a hobby with me. The others it is a job. I learn php as part of that hobby and the way I set about it was to select a project and start from scratch. Log ins, database of members. My project was a classified setup, I finished it but it would be nothing like Craig's List.

But as I said above with the navigation get some code and play with it see what you can make it do. Try creating a menu on an arc or on the diagonal.
