Getting Centered in FrontPage

I am trying to finish up my site, DropshipCritic, but I am having some issues. All content on the pages is contained in the white area you see, that is one big table, a 1 x 1 table. The background is blue.

Well, the page looked fine on my computer which is a normal size monitor but when I viewed my site on my laptop, which is a wide screen, the table was pushed to the left with the same space you see to the left now but then about 5 times the blue space to the right.

I have tried centering the table, tweaking margins a bit, almost everything but it won't change. Can anybody take a look at my page source and try to find a solution? I am looking to get the table in the absolute center of the page, no matter what monitor it is being viewed on.

Thanks for your time!

not in relation to your question, but how do you propose to make money on the site. Do you get paid for referrals or are you going to implement advertisments?

The best advice I can give you is DON'T USE FRONTPAGE!
Unless you know how to modify the code yourself, it'll destroy your attempts at natural Search Engine Optimization with it's horrendous bloated code.

Adobe Dreamweaver is good if you already know what you're doing.
If you don't, then I recommend something like EZGenerator.

Now, the problem you have here is that there are 'absolute' values for the table properties in your code, instead 'percentage' or 'elastic' values.
On the basis that you can't figure this problem, I strongly recommend you get EZGenerator. It's designed to be as user friendly as it gets without completely destroying your site...

This is a pretty easy fix. Just right click in the table and select Table Properties and under Alignment select "Center" and this will center it on the page. Good luck!

Lol I wish it was that easy, for some reason that's not doing the trick!
