ok I created a fake store so that I could test out the html codes & make sure I was doing everything correctly before applying it to my real store (craft corner) which is still hidden at the moment.. Anyway..
I have been trying to follow the directions that Shopaholic put together at
http://www.shopaholicchick.com/zazzletutor/thumbnails.html

I want my site very similiar Categories (each product line having its own pic) on the page in rows, when u click on that it take u to that specific category or product line.

However I keep recieving error messages that say

The 'img' start tag on line 4 does not match the end tag of 'td'. Line 4, position 61

I tried altering that specific line & then it will just tell me the Line 5 has an error..

so on & so fourth..

I am very new to this, I do not know that much about HTML but I thought I knew enough to figure it out, I am beginning to wonder!!!

Am I perhaps inserting the table in wrong spot???

Thank u in advance to whomever helps me out with this, I am going to bed & hopefully when i awake i will have all my answers.. LOL!

sounds like your not closing your tags out. Meaning something like this............ if you start a line <a href..... then after all the codeing and link in that line you have to end it with </a>.

So no matter what you start with, you must close it so to speak so they match.

Here is a sample start and finish below, ill just add ... where additional code would normally be...

<a href=urlink>............ </a>
<b>..............</b>
<i>..................</i>

See how each one has to have brackets and the forward slash before the call element.

So what ever you started each one of those lines with, its telling you that you need to close that command tag for that line.

You may also sometimes have multiple elements, in this case you close them in the same order you open them, like below..........

<a href><b><i><h3>text link or whatever here</h3></i></b></a>

See how everything that starts an element has to close an element.

Hope that makes sense.

I was also thinking that I had just missed a character, but I am just not seeing it.. I know it has to be something very minor that I am just blind to seeing

However this is what the code looks like: (sometimes two eyes sets of eyes are better than one)

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.zazzle.com/jmjked/gifts?cg=196715297672370597"><img src="http://rlv.zcache.com/happy_button-p145191298910508512tmn2_210.jpg"></td>
<td><a href="http://www.zazzle.com/jmjked/gifts?cg=196528329637797815"><img src="http://rlv.zcache.com/fdfsdfds_keychain-p146612718849845277td8i_525.jpg"></td>
<td><a href="http://www.zazzle.com/jmjked/magnets?cg=196528329637797815"><img src="http://rlv.zcache.com/dsfsdfsdfsd_magnet-p147722954796774550tmn8_525.jpg"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.zazzle.com/jmjked/gifts?cg=196451470909838481"><img src="http://rlv.zcache.com/ghgd_mug-p168908348061688282tda5_210.jpg"></td>
</tr></table>

the 1st part of the table (from the 1st <td> to the </td> should be a link to all my buttons then the image i inserted for now is just a url of one of my buttons.. the 2nd part is the same thing ony it take u to the keychains so on & so fourth
I am envisioning this as 2 rows 3 links in the 1st row & one in the second (thats as far as I have sectioned so far) as I said this is a fake store that I am trying out till I get all the coding down.

So sorry for being so unexperienced at all this, I was hoping this was going to be as easy as it was when i set up my blogs table in the past...

you are missing </a> at the end of every line after every <img src="url">

it should be <a href="url"><img src="url"></a>

like this

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong, so I thought I would post back in case anyone else came along & was as blind & absent minded as I was.. LOL!!

I was misreading the instructions.. The table should be inserted in the My Zazzle/store/basic information/description section..

I was mistakinglly trying to use it as a html code.. DUH!!!!
