Default Template - CSS layout, Extension and Text Positioning

Hello,

I am working on a website and would really appreciate some help.

See: http://acenteroffreedom.org/redesign/

Template layout:
I formatted the template in separate background images but know that the p tag is not the right one but how should I format this instead? Also I would like to eliminate the vertical space between the "pieces".

Extension of Template:
I would also like the template to be able to be extended on some of the pages because some pages have more text then others. See original site:
http://acenteroffreedom.org/

Text Positioning:
I am having some trouble figuring out how to create the correct padding for the text areas so that the text isn't at the edge of the background image.

Also, I would like to put upcoming events in the blue side bar area so would like some advice on how to do this. Do I need to reslice the template?

Thank you very much

... ok, instead or <p> tags, u need to use div tags for your sections and background images.

Vertical Space can be eliminated through margin and padding.

Once you have the background image in a div tag, then you can place the p tag in it. Afterwards you can play with the padding on the div tag.

You mite want to look into tutorials and image slicing techniques. The key is to use as little images and small slices so the page doesn't take forever to load for people on slow connections. I don't know any sites off hand but a quick search on google can help.

This should help you also: http://talk.iwebtool.com/thread19368.html
