web site views differently on same/different machines

[Guest]

I created a web site on one of several new computers bought recently. On my computer, it looks great. On another person's new computer (same type, etc.), the spacing is off, and the beginning graphic is towards the bottom of the page instead of the center of the page. I'm sure I've got something setup wrong, but is there a way to get everything centered or to design my site in a way that it is always viewed in the same way (ex: kinda like how msn.com always fits on 1-page across, even if you change computers and viewing options)? Any help on this would be appreciated, as it's very frustrating to create what you think is a good-looking site and then find out it looks differently on other people's computers

Thanks!

HTML is a standard. It is a text-based markup for instructing a browser on
how to format the document. Browsers are made by many different software
companies. They interpret the HTML in an HTML document in slightly different
ways. Understanding this, and how to create HTML that looks (nearly) the
same in many browsers is one of the biggest challenges that a web developer
faces. Unfortunately, I can't give you a few simple rules that will
accomplish this. It takes a certain familiarity with HTML to do it. I would
suggest getting a good book on HTML to help you out.

But, if I do that, then the logo will appear at the very top of my page, versus centered where I wanted it. Is there a way to account for that in the picture settings or something?

Insert the logo in a table, also if you plan to have other content on the page below the logo, make
the logo smaller, as it will all most fill the screen of 640 x 480 users.
