<table><tr><td>Column 1</td><td>Column 2</td></tr></table>

 

Haha, thanks for the shameless mikeroth.org plug, MainFramed! Anyway, the way I did it was by using cascading style sheets. You can find a lot of info at www.w3.org, but they basically let you set different parameters (font colors, positions, etc.) for different sections of your website.

Good luck - web design is a frustrating but rewarding process.

<Table width=100%>
<TR>
<TD width=50%>
Keep typing all the crap you want in this column. There ya go. That's a good boy.
</TD>
<TD width=50%>
This text is for the column on the right. Man, too bad I don't have any real content to put here. No content makes Jack a dull web developer.
</TD>
</TR>
</Table>

Not at all - good luck with the site. And since you said you're learning HTML, listen to the other people, not to me. But when you've mastered HTML, learn CSS - it makes things somewhat easier.

There's lots of ways to improve it, That's just the most basic way to make it work.

If you want it red, do this:
<table bgcolor="red"><tr><td>Column 1</td><td>Column 2</td></tr></table>

If you want to adjust the widths of the columns, do something like this:
<table width="500px"><tr><td width="200px">Column 1</td><td width="300px">Column 2</td></tr></table>

There's a lot of different parameters, and then there's CSS that gives you a million more.

Edit: and go "insert > table" in dreamweaver.

<table borders=1 (or 2, or 3, or 4, or 5, for thickness)>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=red>
background color for this data cell is red, but I still don't have any content.
</td>
<td bgcolor=blue>
HALP! I still don't have any content!
</td>
</tr>
</table>

And then when you want to insert an image, use <img src="graphicfile.jpg"> or whatever.

And if I did it in dreamweaver, I'd still type all the text, so that's probably not what you're looking for.

I'm just coming up with this off the top of my head, it's all pretty basic HTML.

I still refuse to call you Tyler.

I would edit the code manually in Dreamweaver...it's faster that way
