Whereas there is nothing wrong with this as a process to learn – when it comes to actually publishing your website –I’m sure you’ll agree that your pages currently look too wide.
Therefore we want to resize them – so they look aesthetically more pleasing on the eye and your site looks more professional.Take a look at one of my sites: note the ‘space’ either side of my main page.
At the moment – each page that you have created runs the ENTIRE width of your computer screen.
We want to change that by creating a ‘table’ within the screen. In to this table – we will insert all your content of your webpage.
Page 105 This is very easy to do.
Go back to Kompozer and select New.
The select Insert and then Table.
You will see this window.
Make sure that the Row and Colum both have 1 in them. And for the width type in 650 pixels (you can make this bigger or smaller depending on the width you are after). A typical web page is between 650 and 800 pixels wide.
Click OK.
Double click anywhere in the shape.
This window will appear.
In the drop down menu select Center. Click OK. The table now moves to the center of the screen as follows.

You will then be able to select the color for the background of the WHOLE screen.

The WHOLE screen will now be blue. To make your web page area a different color (most likely white) left click in the table itself.
The following window will appear (that you have seen before) (as you will see there is a lot of repetition when creating a web page). Page 111 Select the Table tab.
Then click in the small window next to Background Color.
Select White (or whatever color you want).
Click OK.
Your screen will now be centered and will look like a ‘proper’ web page, as follows.
