Left align web pages

I just had a look at your code

My laptop now has a nervous twitch and refuses to come out from under the table. Is it actually alive ?

The "left align page" tweak is only guaranteed to work in a Xara generated page and combining Xara code into anything else is always going to be "interesting".

You also have have multiple <head> and <body> sections.

Thanks Drwyd - This is what happens when you try to get a decent cms site to work with xara. But it does actually work. Maybe it was just a dream. Design site navigation in Xara & stick into wordpress.

Will probably have to rethink my relationship with xara, which is a pity as I'm quite fond of it. I'll take my copy out to dinner (in a public place), and break the news gently

Yeah - thanks Drywyd. I had seen that last year, but I think wordpress is probably the way to go. Sorry, but it's just too well developed, supported (and free

Thanks for your interest anyway.

Cool avatar by the way - scary!

By the way - any chance you could spare my blushes & edit out / remove that link for me??
Cheers

If you are still determined to get Xara Designer menus into your page there still may be a way. You could insert them into an iframe so that they would display inside your wordpress page. The links would have to be duplicated elsewhere (probably best in a footer) so that the search engines can follow them.

Now that sounds promising... I've been sticking wp blogs in Xara sites in iframes for a couple of years. Would be cool to do it the other way round

Thanks v. much for your help

Well I tried that, but linking to pages opens them inside the Xara navigation iframe in the header... Any other ideas how to persuade Xara to navigate a wordpress site?
