Creating a Website-need help

#1 I have never used composer.

From memory (it's a long time since I did any HTML) you can't set tables to be inline with text like you can with images. The solution I would recomend is nesting the tables. ie. you have a large invisible table with 2 fields, the one on the left contains your table that you want the text beside, the one on the right contains the text itself.

I would also recomend learning HTML if you don't know it. I'm not familiar with composer, but most of the time "create a website" programs write terrible code and you're better off without them. Besides, HTML is so easy a monkey could learn it. :)

#2 I would recommend using a current wysiwyg editor. Some are very inexpensive or even free. If you want your site to look professional then you are going to need to invest time and money into the project.

#3 Hi Les,
Your best bet is to learn the fundamentals so you can code HTML from scratch. Check out a basic tutorial in HTML like w3schools.com; it will do wonders for your ability to troubleshoot problems like table glitches.

I'd dump Composer. It's not the most useful editor out there.

In the short term, there's a number of ways to solve your table problems; here's two quickies:

#1. Use CSS styles

<span style="float:right;">This is my textblah blah blah.</span>
<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>image #1</td>
    <td>image #2</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>image #3</td>
    <td>image #4</td>
  </tr>
</table>

#2. Incorporate the text into the table

<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>image #1</td>
    <td>image #2</td>
    <td rowspan="2">Blah blah, here's my text, now incorporated into the table</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>image #3</td>
    <td>image #4</td>
  </tr>
</table>

This is sloppy HTML, and there are more elegant ways of addressing the problem, but this really isn't the forum for it. Check out the tutorial above, and I think that will help tremendously.

Good luck!

#4 Oh, just to clarify -- you don't have to code HTML from scratch. However, understanding how the tags work will make working with any editor much easier, and in the end, you may find that it's easier to work without the editor.

#5 Is there any more tutorials beside the one up there it seems to be somthing wrong with it. Oh do any of you know the codes to create a username and pass required site?

#6 Everything you need to build a high quality, great looking site
I started my site coding it by hand. Then I found this product, the price was perfect, (free) and it made my site (with a few modifications) look quite professional.

#7 I'd suggest learning PHP and hooking your website into a database.
For my website, there are only 2 php files to display one page, the contents in dynamically loaded from plain-text files contained on the website.
If you want the source, just email me.
