I must learn to read whats there and not what I *think* is there I
read one and typed the other.

Never had anything to do with CSS yet - classes sounds just the job for
all sorts of things.

Thank you for the pointer.

I doubt it. I post ads to eBay since I'm clearing out the closets and
thinning out the possessions acquired in 60 some years. I put up
pages of photographs to share with relatives, and expect to do that
more with the first grandchild expected any day. I usually use a
table to include images and some text, but what I put up in this area
is just a temporary way to share for a limited number of relatives via
a link in email.

I can't conceive of a reason to do a full web page. I don't need one
for the business I own, and I don't have any causes that would be of
interest to the world in general.

But, thank you for your reply. There's some helpful information
there.

A good explanation.
