Hi

How do I stretch the left panel menu buttons. I have tried increasing the width size with Paint Shop Pro but can seem to re-import the new file back into xsitepro.

Any ideas?

The new buttons may not work if you increase their size. However, to check you need to place them in the right folder:If the button has a rollover effect, you will need two versions. There will be multiple folders to add your files to and the file name for the rollovers will contain the word "hover."

Thanks for that. Another question if i may... I would like to add a picture to the main panel but it seems to tile itself across the pane. is there a way of centering and stretching the image?

I gather you mean you want a picture in the background of the Main Panel. To stop it tiling, go to Other > Global Scripts > HEAD section and add this CSS:To attach the background image to a certain part of the Main Panel, go to Other > Web Site Settings > Image Alignment > Main Panel. Set the alignment as you wish. Background images should be sized to fit the background width in an image editor like Photoshop. The height will be unpredictable, so fade the image to white at the bottom (or the top, depending on where you align the image to) for the best effect. Or perhaps the image doesn't have to fill the background, as in the following example: http://www.hiring30.com/. This site has a pale image in the bottom right corner of the Main Panel, but it doesn't fill the Main Panel. Note: It's the same image that's in the header.

Your website looks really good. On the "About the Author" page, how did you manage to import the picture without using up 1 line space (If you know what I mean?). When I try and insert an image, it messes up my text lines.

I put my photo in a table and aligned the table using the text editor (Justify Left). I also added a column on the right to keep the text away from the photo. You can also use the image properties to align the photo (e.g., Alignment > Horizontal > Left). You could use "hspace" to add a margin on both sides of the photo, but I prefer to add a margin using inline CSS because that gives me more control. Example:
