Tim,

Your text links are in a table with everything aligned left.

Try using a text box for your links, with the text centered.

You may also want to switch to using px font sizes rather than x-large 
(etc.).

Will be more consistent across browsers.

Thanks Chuck,
                        Hmmmmm......  Every link is in it's own text 
box........at least that's how I set it up. I can drag them around 
separately on the page, which is how I centered them on the page. The 
strange thing is that they look fine in local publish ( IE ) but only look 
wonky if I view the site with Firefox. If I view the site online with IE 
they look fine as well. I don't get why the Underline of the album title 
goes out way beyond where the text box ends when viewed in FF 
either......How do I change from the +1,+2,etc to px?

BTW Chuck,
                    If you had a minute or two...... I would appreciate your 
opinion of the site and how it's set-up. I know of a few issues that need 
fixing - all the photos are stretched vertically and need to be fixed - but 
if you could give me your expert opinion on the layout, or any other issues 
I would appreciate it!

Tim   www.simplesong.ca

Tim,

By using individual text boxes, you created an unnecessarily complex table 
structure. Switching to a single text box will allow for accurate centering.

I'll look at the site more when I get a moment. First impression is it's 
kinda dark. Needs a more uplifting color scheme. Looks very mid-90s right 
now.

Post in the new-sites newsgroup and I'm sure you'll get plenty of comments.
