What I like about this is the page itself. Not the intro page. When you click the Play link, it will take you to the play page. I want to have a page like that one. I like how it's nice and narrow. How do I do this?

The linking part and the concept is easy. I think you are talking about the design right? Ya, the design is really nice.

Right, so how do I get that design? Really cool. I like the intro page too. I think I can manage that one easily, but the design in the Play link, I have no idea how that page is set.

Use view/page source to get the code.

Been there, done that several times. Still not sure what it is.

sticks464 is right. Everything is in the source(at least the layout part). It's basically a top navigation, top header image, a content with two column layout, and no footer.

So, how should I put it?

I dont think anyone here is gonna code it for you. If your learning html and css the easiest way to learn is to tear down someone else's code and find how they did it.

Ok, I went and looked at the code again. It seems where that image is, it's using the masthead feature. I tried it on a new html code from scratch. Did nothing. I don't know how it works. And, I still can't figure out how to get the narrow look of that page.
