Could you email me the html..or point me to the url ?
The first thing I noticed was a GLARING HTML error:



%26lt;meta name="keywords" content="Sheboygan, etc."%26gt;%26lt;BODY



You have no %26lt;/head%26gt; tag, so your "body" is all in your %26lt;head%26gt;. See if fixing that makes the page work. (Clean the code up a bit if you want someone to trroubleshoot it for you. At least break the line for each section, div, etc.)If anyone has a minute and has experience building html webpages...could you look at this and tell me...?
check the background image name : "autumn background.jpg"

there is a space in it.



for the links if these pages for instance : "Yard Shadows.htm" is in the same directory as the page you showed us , these links should work.



the store image i can not locate.
That code is sooooo outdated and crammed together makes it hard to edit. Best suggestion I can make is validated the code and correct all errors.
