Okay, so I am such a rookie!! PLEASE help !!
Anyway, this is what the temporary website looks like now:
www.s158671506.onlinehome.us
I'd like the left table to be aligned at the top with the right table. Can it be done??

If you are using Dreamweaver to edit, there's a drop-down menu where you can select "Vertical Alignment", or "Vert." in the editing toolbar. Click the settig to "top".
I'm sure other programs vary, but you'd be looking for basically the same thing.
Given a few minutes of sifting through the code, you culd probably also find the spot to edit that positioning. I personally find it much easier to "View Code & Design" at the same time for this type of hting.

I dropped the code into GoLive and had a quick look. The vertical alignments are set to "top". The problem is that the top.gif with the monkey's head is 192 pixels tall, while the red border that his hands are on starts at about 148 pixels down.
The only solution I can think of is to add a second row.
top row = 148 height
second row = 44 height
Span the two lower cells in the left column (so the nav box can top align at 148).
Span the two top cells on the right (to accommodate the 192 tall image).
If there's an easier way, I don't know how. I imagine it could be done in CSS but that would basically involve completely rewriting the page, which defeats the purpose of using a template in the first place.

Use this html code instead. This should work nicely for you.
