Thanks John! The seals are exactly when I need them to be. And my code is validated. Yes!
I'm so happy : )

Thank you, Tim.
Yes, the loading time has improved a lot. First, I replaced the full size images of all 72 products that I currently have in the shopping cart with smaller thumbnails (100x133). And then, with the help of the forum community I was able to clean up the code and pass the validation. The website is completely done, now I'm just waiting for Nick to upgrade me to CCP7 sometime this week. I'll officially launch the website as soon as I get the CCP upgrade. One quarter of all the work done on my website was accomplished with the help I received in this forum. Amazing! : )

For some reason, the 3 seals at the end of the page keep moving to the left and to the right. Each time I open my homepage the seals have either moved to the left or to the right but never in the center where there are supposed to be. Could anyone please look up my code and let me know if there is an error of some sort? All I need is for the seals to be centered and stay still. Thank you!

</html>P.S. The Google tracked doesn't contribute to the issue since I just added it a few hours ago and the problem with the seals moving back and forth occurred last week.
P.S.S. I keep adjusting the table width and the td style width. The current values are ones of the many I tried - they all worked for a little bit and then the seals start moving again.

You will need to adjust the width of the empty cells, the first cell has a width of 50% which should push the content to the extreme right side of the page. The empty cell should have a width that just take up the remainder that is left over from the displays you want and generally should be the same on both ends. The only reason to make them a percentage is so that they adjust to the page size in the browser, if the customer changes the browsers window size.

Thanks John. So should I have something like 25%-5%-25% configuration for the 3 cells? Are all 3 cells empty? Is a value of 0% valid? Sorry, I know my questions are dumb but I'm still learning : )

If the empty cell is there just as a space then I would just assign it a fixed width that way it would be constant and you might also want to try assigning fixed width to the other cells. If you know how much space the displays need then you can figure the percentage needed to fill the rest of the table.

How do I assign a fixed width? Do I just get rid of the "%" symbol? Also, how do I know which cell is "empty"?
Offline
If your doing it in the xhtml code it's
<td style="width: 120px;">
or what ever width you want just put px after the number.
The cells that don't have your seals for content or just the cells that contain a blank space are your empty cells in this case.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm making the changes in the html code.

If you're concerned about the total bandwidth for your site, then consider banning some bad bots, like VoilaBot that consumes a lot of bandwidth. This bot is from France, and unless you sell to the French, you can safely ban that one.
Look at your site stats to see what's really consuming bandwidth.
There are codes out there for your htaccess to ban some bad bots. Search the Net for something appropriate for you.
Also, if you're on a shared server, then it may not be your website that's causing pages to slowly load. It could be the aggregate of every website on that server consuming the resources.
HTH!

I put up some performance ideas in the following thread awhile back:

Blitzen,
Where/How can I check the stats of my site to see what is consuming bandwidth the most? Thanks.

I don't know where your statistics are. Ask your host. Some will provide detailed stats whereas others provide meager stats. Tell them what you need and ask them where you can find it.

how do I load multiple photos, rather than one at a time.
