Ok, here are my three questions...

1. I want to have two columns on my main page, how do I set this up?
2. I have a table that I inserted, and I want the entire background of the table to be a specific color, but when I change the background, it only changes the background directly behind the text, not the empty spaces.
3. I tried inserting the image that I wanted, using the wizard, and it completely moves my text. I want my text to remain constant, and I want to have the image behind the text. Any way to do this?

As you can see I am a newbie, lol.

1. Here is an example of creating two columns full width of screen.
you can of course change the border spacing etc.
<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<th scope="col"> </th>
<th scope="col"> </th>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
2. Background depends on whether you are using CSS external and or inline statements.

background="url of image you want as table background"> you would add this at end of cellpadding etc.
if you want just color then here is what you do
bgcolor="#FF0000"
3. Not sure what wizard you are refering too, FP2000 or 2006 perhaps? To have image behind text you want it set to background and not inserted into the area. Im guessing you just added the image and with img src etc and not with the background statements.

Depending on what you know, may I suggest working with divs for layout instead of doing tables. You might find you like to work with them more than tables
