    Dreamtime - you should not be using your live site to test this stuff out. Do your testing locally, and upload it when you're happy it works.

    The CSS will be something like

    li
    {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 150px;
    }

    Did you try to install an evaluation version of Dreamweaver to see if you can run the site on your own PC first? There's a good chance that you're going to spend a lot of your time to save €500 and end up needing professional help to fix the site anyway.

    There is a neat FTP plugin for Notepad++ so you can edit live pages and clicking save or CTRL+S will upload the new version.

    FTP Synchronize

    That is handy, but in this case, I think the last thing the OP wants to be doing is real time updates of his live site.

    Thanks guys for all the help, I have decided to have somebody do it for me for under half the quote i got.So happy with that.I am doing some tutorials at the moment about html and also css finding it fairly ok so far.

    Will be quite handy to know for future, I am using nopepad++ as somebody suggested its very good and am just using a file saved as .html to mess around with.

    While iam here somebody might help me out with the img tag, I have the code but when i load it to the page it comes up blank with a red x in the corner?

    Ive read up on it and it seems i have to save the image to the same directory as where iam loading the content.Is this correct if so how do i do that and if not how do i do it.

    Thanks again.

    if you use <img src="name_of_image.jpg"> the name_of_image.jpg file needs to be in the same folder as your image.

    you can display any image if its on the internet.
    so you can use the URL for the src
    <img src="http://www.dreamtimebouncycastles.ie/img/logo.png"&gt; for example will display the logo on your site.

    You have to upload those images to your web site - this is where FTP comes in, or you can probably upload them via a File Manager in your hosting Control Panel.

    I recommend putting them in the 'img' directory like your other images, for consistency.
