Hi,

My friends and I started a forum and currently we want to change the template of a site linking to our forum.
I have no idea how to start. I hope someone could help me out.

This is our current page:
http://www.theprocoders.com/

And this is the HTML code

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Zhtml xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>The Pro Coders</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />
</head>

Zbody>
<div id="container">
<div id="menu">

<ul>
<li id="m01"><a href="http://www.TheProCoders.com">Home</a></li>
<li id="m02"><a href="http://www.TheProCoders.com/photos.html">Photos</a></li>
<li id="m03"><a href="http://www.Forum.theprocoders.com">Forum</a></li>
<li id="m04"><a href="http://www.TheProCoders.com/about.html">About me</a></li>
<li id="m05"><a href="http://www.TheProCoders.com/chat

We thought of changing it to something like this:

Hope someone could help me out.[/url]

I've made it into something like this

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<Zhtml xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" BGPROPERTIES="FIXED" BACKGROUND="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r225/Michaell61/Longbg.gif">

<head>
<table height="125" width="741"
background="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r225/Michaell61/header.gif"</table>
</head>

<div id="container">
<div id="menu" align="middle">

<ul>
<A HREF="http://www.TheProCoders.com"><IMG SRC="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r225/Michaell61/My%20site/Home.gif"

<div id="content" align="left">
<table height="125" width="305"
background="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r225/Michaell61/My%20site/Welcometextimg.gif" </table>
</div>

Can anyone help me with the Padding? I can't seem to make any space between each div.
