This update is in a 700 pixel table. The left side is 500 wide; the right column is 200 wide. The default text for the page is Verdana size 16. On the right, image of the week is in a 3-celled table: Top cell is image, with alt text. Middle cell is photo credit: font_12_gray_photo. Bottom cell text fits on one line.

This Week's Update Includes:

Heading Bold Font_18: Subheading Not Bold
About the Heading Bar Above
When you create new sections, make the yellow heading bar 35 pixels tall so all bars are the same size. Align the cells "left, middle" so text is left and middle of bar.

About This Cell
Be sure to align the cell "left, top" so text is flush with top left.

Text in Body (This Heading)
In order to make heading bold, you have to toggle to html. (If you try to use bold while in CSS mode, you will change the rule and all text coded with that rule will change.)

Adding Images to the Right
I've inserted a table to the right for images. Between each image, notice the blank cell. I set it 15 pixels high to separate the images.

By the way, do you notice the text is not flush, top-left in this section? I discovered that a paragraph tag is being inserted automatically at the beginning of each cell. To remove it: highlight the first few words of text, go to "code view" and remove the tag that looks like this. "<p>" Then explore this week's slideshow and resources:

The Migration: Maps and Journal Page
All monarchs do not go to Mexico. Before spring migration begins, please help us document where monarchs are wintering now and where milkweed is available.
