Navigation bar and body problems

6
Hi, i am new to designing websites, i wish that i had taken web design in school but i didn't. i know almost nothing about html or anything else.
and i made my own very bad navigation bar which is on the left, but i was just wondering how do you keep the navgigation bar on the left, while having the body text to the right of it?
Do you use frames or something?
I am just so very lost and i've been looking but found nothing. THis may seem like a stupid thing to ask, but sorry, i don't know anything.
thanks so much for any help

If you want someone to look at your code, post it here. Preferably you have a link so we can see it online.

Hmm, well actually it's not a navigation bar really.
It is just a picture which i made a link. I am very amateur, i know.
But, this is the website. www.freewebs.com/amwswimming.
Click in it and i was just wondering how to put like a "news section" and stuff to write in and have the "navigation bar" stay put there.

THanks so much for the help.

Go to http://www.w3schools.com/ and study the html tutorial and then perhaps follow the CSS tutorial.

In times gone by, websites layout was done using tables. Since the CSS specification is now better supported across multiple browsers, you can layout your entire page using CSS, most commonly using div tags.

Good luck =]

Uhh hi, thanks to all who tried to help me...but i am still not understanding it. Sorry. I just do not understand how to position the div tags and how to do it. I've been on several tutorials and they all say different things or they're just different codes and i am very confused. But basically, the website i want to make well is www.freewebs.com/amwswimming/home.htm

And where it says "hello there", all i want to know is how to move that "hello there" up next to the "navigation bar" to the right of it.

Thanks so much again!!
I know, i am very stupid, but i have looked everywhere and i can't get it.

Hi,
What program are you using to create your pages?

Although it's REALLY frowned upon by pretty much everyone nowadays, I'd say just use tables to do your positioning until you get a better grasp on HTML and CSS. It's not an ideal solution, but at least you'll get it looking the way you want it for now.

A simlpe table with one row and two columns could be used. Just put the menu in the first column and the main text in the second column. If you don't want a border on the table add the 'border="0"' tag.

Good luck!
