Ok, just an update to this. I have my header configured so that my background and head image is taken care of. I also have my menu in there.

I found not to use the external stylesheet, but do everything internally with style attributes. But now, my question is with linking them.

My header holds my background and menu and imporant stuff, and now I want to add content to the site. How would I link this??

I have a page named news.php. I want the header information in it with the news showing up in only a certain spot i have already laid out in my graphhics.
