Okay I designed this in photoshop. I sliced it in Image ready and saved the images and HTML, uploaded the image to my photobucket. Then pasted the HTML into the Auctiva creator and then Im stuck.

What am I doing wrong? Im a hands on person so all the stuff Im reading is just not sticking.

HELP!!!

THX Bunches. PS here is my practice board.

Whats wrong with it? I pasted your code into the practice board and I got a nice template. Is there supposed to be pictures and text?

Next step is to add in the Auctiva tags where you want things to appear.

Tou will need image tags for your pictures, a description tag and a shipping/payment tag.

Those are the 3 main tags you will need to make this work with Auctiva

Now here is what Im not getting. How do I get it to expand or contract with the text and pics without it going all out of alingnment? What is the trick to that?

PS..Im also learing parts of CSS. Can CSS be used on here?

In all honesty I think you took the long way around and I think with fixed images you aren't going to be able to solve the problem.

It would be much better to use tables and make your image a tiled background, using a % instead of a fixed width
