    Hi Brenda.

    I'm not familiar with that program, however there should be a place to look at the code. Maybe called Code View? There should be a line numbering system there to help you find it.

    If not, then download one of the free HTML editors and open up the page in that. You can fix it, save, and then reopen in Basic Live Windows [not sure what this is to be honest] to make other changes. I'd suggest Alley Code, it's free and a decent editor.

    Basic Live Windows sounds like a hosting plan more than an HTML editor. Brenda, do you pay a monthly fee for Basic Live Windows, or did you download it?

    That, and if you're talking about validating your code... IMO, don't stress it if it displays well in all browsers.

    I signed up for the Microsoft Office Live thing out of interest's sake (and a free domain :P ), and I can say without a doubt this is one of the worst interfaces I've ever used. That being said, if you're familiar with using Microsoft Office products (Word especially) then at least it's vaguely familiar.
    The one error I found on your site is the link in the middle of your home page:

    -Finding the right home
    -Selling your current home
    -Finding Investment property
    -Help with relocation
    -Providing local information

    Go into the Page Editor in the office live thingy, select the text you want to link, select the 'Web' radio button, and enter the URL of your MLS search. I see you're trying to open the link in a new window by adding html into the Page Editor form - that won't work. As soon as I figure out how to actually do that I'll let you know.
    I'm experimenting with the Office Live tools and stuff - for anyone interested, here the site I set up:
    http://cleansearching.com
    The office live service looks like its totally free for right now, which is cool, but as you can see, the templates/layouts etc they offer are a little... yeah. Apparently you have to pay to have access to the actual HTML

    So here's how to fix those links:
    On the Page Editor, click Module from the top menu, and select HTML - that will let you add a block of actual HTML into the 'zone' that Page Editor creates.
