Did you know you're using the <center> tag and align = "center" for some text?

If you want your text to be on the left hand side then in your CSS you need

text-align: center;

or, in your html use

align = "left"

Remove the <center> tags and align = "center" from anything you don't want centered.

style="align:left"


Your can use above code in any html tag but align='left' attribute You can use only selected tags.

Put the align = "left" (make sure it has quotes around it) in the tags you want to align left <h1><p>....

<p align = "left">Text</p>

Or, with CSS

p {
text-align: left;
}

<p>text will be aligned left in every <p> tag</p>

It's none of my business how you code your site, but it will save you a lot of time if you used CSS to your advantage. You wouldn't have to go through all your code and change every <p> or <h1> tag, but you could conveniently change it with CSS in less time. Tags like <font> are out dated and could easily be done using CSS. I see that a lot of your <p> tags use the same font style, so you'll save time by using CSS because you won't have to create all those font tags for every time you want something a certain way (I know I didn't articulate myself well enough but I can show you an example of what I'm talking about if you're interested). Also, go through your website and remove all the <center> tags from the text you don't want centered like (assuming you don't want to center that block of text):
