My Website is NOT centered when it loads

Guest

When you access my website, it is NOT centered when it loads, you need to
scroll right to view the page. How can I get to load in nice and centered?
thanks

#1 Don't use any of the FP drawing tools!
-They render using the MS Proprietary VML, which will only work in IE. Other
browsers may render a cheesy GIF version of your intent, if they render
anything at all

#2 Your layout table is too wide at 1490px, and the columns add up to 1494
for the first row

The ones in FP, but you have to make your page narrower.

A lot of people are still viewing webs at 800 px wide (actually any setting
from 1px to 800 or so) so you'd design your width for 760px so viewers don't
have to scroll.

Yer welcome.

Two more hints;

1- Rename files/folders with spaces in their names (they will appear as %20)
you can use dashes instead, it's also good to stick to lower case. Spaces
can break hyperlinks.

2- Optimize your images (the two on the main page are very large). You can
use IrFanview to do this (its free).
