How do I solve a problem with positioning in MS Expression Web?

Hi, I have created a website ( www.toddle-tots.co.uk/gallery.htm ) for my cousin who's a childminder but I seem to be having a few problems with the positioning once uploaded. In Expression Web it looks fine but as you will see if you take a look at the page it's all to the left and some of the text his displaying incorrectly. Do you have any idea's how to fix this and an explanation as to why it's doing this? What have I done or doing wrong? Thanks, Ziggles.

Tale a look at Center a Website. There is an TXT code example there to take a look at.

I also noticed you have:
<table border="0" width="750px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="table8" style="height: 1013px">

But I did not see anything for the is (table8).

It looks like you you have a pretty basic site - header, nav/content, footer. Consider using CSS (Simple 2 Column Layout)

It also looks you might have copied some things from an MS office product right into the page:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml">

Consider re-doing this, copy the text into notepad and then paste into your document. This creates bloated / extra code that some browsers have a problem reading.

Consider validating your code as well..

If ou need to still use tables, let me know and I will try to create a basic layout. But CSS will be better, even if you use tables, you should use CSS to control the width, etc. You also have a lot of </span> that seem to be in the wrong place (or rather too many):
<p class="MsoNormal">Please click
</span></span>

And just in case - what text do you see appearing to the left (what do you want it to do)? And what about the text that is appearing incorrectly? How should it appear?
