Images are challenging for the beginning web developer because they have to understand how web servers work (a little) and how directory systems differ on their home machine and their web server.

If you still are having trouble, you should consider signing up for my Free HTML class.

Centered alignment is a popular design element as it's relatively easy. In fact, now centering with CSS is arguably harder than it used to be with the CENTER element (that element is deprecated and you shouldn't use it). However, there are drawbacks to centered design. In fact, Jacci, the Desktop Publishing Guide, recommends that you should avoid centered text for most body copy.

Be sure to mouse near the top of the “beer” to see what happens. But if you're using Internet Explorer, you'll need to check it out in a different browser. All versions of IE are sent to their Feedburner page instead. There are some interesting choices for the sectioning tags in this document. For example, the dates in the posts are listed as ASIDE and they might better be defined as DATA elements with machine readable dates in an attribute. The images are also enclosed in a SECTION element which appears to be there primarily for the CSS styles—he should use a DIV instead. But it is a fun site design.

In fact, if you search the web for ”web buttons” you will find hundreds if not thousands of examples of buttons you can use for your web pages. But now, with CSS3 you can create buttons that have cool effects but don't use any images at all.
