I've been trying to add text and a photo to the Home Page of our class website, but it displays at the bottom of the page, leaving the entire first page blank. The class administrator fixed it once, recently, but won't tell me how to make the text or image smaller so it formats properly. I am using Safari on a Mac and I've tried tighter margins, smaller fonts and nothing works.

Jack,

It is not always the same thing that is causing problems. I don't know if you know HTML code or if it would be confusing to you to tell you about how I just fixed your problem. Here is what I did:

Edit Site Pages, EDIT PAGE for the Home Page
Scrolled down to the content editor
Clicked the SOURCE button
Looked through the source and saw this element: [div style="clear:both;"] (square brackets were replaced with "<" and ">", but if I used them here, you wouldn't be able to see the code)
I know that the style="clear:both;" means that don't display the contents unless there is space on the right side and left side - that is the meaning of the "both".
Since this wasn't necessary, I just deleted the DIV and the associated /DIV tokens.
Saved the changes and tested the home page again.
