all u need are:
1. ready made images.. banner ...

legend:
title.... where u will put ur page name
head ..where u wil insert ur css codes like scrollbar etc..
body... for main page design ( codes for ur table)...javascript like
statusbar etc etc...
be sure to save ur work ...with an ending of .html ( dot html)
then look for table launcher ( LAUNCH TABLE MAKER)
we will use this to view the possible size of ur table... assign specific location ( centered..left etc.. make margin padding etc etc...)
let say ill be using this banner for my overlay

then the 2nd for my navigation
<">take note:
[color=#ff58ff] [/color] codes [color=#ff58ff]for space[/color]
be cautious in my td and table wherein i add some tweaks like bg and specific height
now wer doen for upper part..
lets do then the main content ..menu of our page
let say ill make a 3 column.. 1 row table..
[color=#ff58ff]original codes:[/color]
<">then [color=#ff58ff]alter[/color] be noted with changes i done with my TD and TABLE..
<">take note:
u may add inside the td ur chatbox... all pa ekek ( xtra )
modues codes..
and div so ur page wont get long
i add this table for my [color=#ff58ff]credits[/color] w/c is optional
since u may include this inside the above mention TD
<">this part is for my [color=#ff58ff]friendster footer etc[/color]...
