Help with coding Please

Hello to all,
I'm having a terrible time trying to geet my table coding correct. I was wondering if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I have the whole page as I would like it to look but I want to put a link at the bottom of the page saying "Home" that vistors can clik on to go back to the home page. For some reason when I add the link for "Home" at the bottom of the page it ends up showing up at the top of the page.
Here's the link to the page so you can see what is happening:
"http://www.angelfire.com/sk2/stparanormal/Avideosample.html"

Here's is my coding for that page:
<body><BODY BACKGROUND="moon.jpg" BGPROPERTIES="fixed"

You really have a lot of problems with your code.

Think of this - whatever you open, you better close it.

Now having said that, start at

Corey,
I tried what you said here and it works so far. I understand some HTML stuff but those tables get me ever time. I was trying ot figure out what I did yesterday for 6 hours!

I'm so glad I came across this message board! Thank you so much for your help Corey! Thank You, Thank You!

Glad it all worked out.

I never was one too much for writing code - I did most everything through Microsoft FrontPage and now Expression Web. It will help you a lot with the basics. They have a free 60-day free trial which you will probably find useful.
