I am seeking a talented individual to help build a template for my company which I can then use in Visual Editor. I have some sample sites I like but I think it is a bit much for visual editor to create. Is there someone who would have both the expertise and desire to discuss a short term project as such?

Problem one is you're defining a body style in the <head> portion of the page.
Problem two is you have a <div> element after the end of your </body> tag.
Wayne, you might do better to start your own thread in the appropriate forum rather than "hijack" this one.

it worked!!! I got my background back!!! Thanks Spinny. Not sure if you read through the conversations I've had with Eric. He has helped so much. But this is my first template which I will be applying to two different web sites I am puting together.
I have tried to make a template from a generic but since I have no clue what I'm doing...it didn't help.
What I am trying to achieve is a template with a 'back' background that will fit any size screen and then the editable background, proabably a solid color that will be centered. I want the links along the left vertically and of course the web site name across the top.
I had quite a bit of this done but then my hard drive crashed on my pc and I lost it all. I have been trying to reconstruct it for the past few days.
I am also in the process of creating a style sheet as well but not quite sure where to 'plug' it in. Since you are here at the moment, I have anoher question. How do I move the links down below the title...WAY below the title?
Thank you
Mike

Spiny you can define a style element in the head as long as it is set off by style tags. And problem two that you listed seems fine as well, because the div element goes to the unordered list, in order to set it left. Its not the cleanest code in the world, but it should still work. The problem as I see it is related to the web address you have listed. you should list your file relative since you are viewing your file locally and not on the web.
What this means is just take out the "http://www.kikisartstudio.com" and just reference the file location like this:
background-image{url(kikibackground.jpg);}
So now as i look at your code I see you did not write it correctly. Make sure your punctuation matches mine.

You've got the reins here, Eric. I'm a firm believer in setting all style elements in a style sheet so I'd just muck up what you've worked out with Mike thus far. Carry on!

Spinny,
I agree with you. You certainly have not mucked anything up. I only use style sheets as well, but when Mike and I first started, we started with everything in one file.
Your advice is always much appreciated.
