Hi there. I have a few questions that I need to know to make my website better. First, how do you add a textarea like that is good for news? (example when I said news:  
Tuesday, 21, 2003  
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. )  
for tables, how do you set it as liquid? also another question about tables (making a table-based website), whenever I type something in it, it ends up in the middle of the table, it doesn’t matter how big it is (not talking about the alignment of the text)  
please help! thanks, Eric. :azn:

you should read up on some html tutorials buddy, it seems like you should still be in “learning” phase, as opposed to trying to make a great site phase. I would suggest [www.htmlgoodies.com](http://www.htmlgoodies.com), it has a lot of good stuff.

In table properties there is a option called Alignment where Top, Centre, Bottom, etc. are available. You have to select Top to make the text from top of the table.

Can I just say that HTML Goodies is actually a horrid place to learn HTML from? Why? Because the code they show is severely out dated. Some code examples they use are just plain wrong. Even the code they use to design their own site is a joke.

For newbies and a qiuck reference, I would use [http://www.w3schools.com/](http://www.w3schools.com/) Beyond that, make sure to use W3C’s validator to validate pages. [http://validator.w3.org/](http://validator.w3.org/) A List Apart is also a good source even though it’s going to be a little more on the advanced side.
