So while folks are really at www.anankehennaart.com, it tells them that they are still at www.members.xoom.com/AnankeHenna. I have carefully scrutinized my html and I can't for the life of me understand what is happening. Is it something that Xoom is doing? I have deleted all the old pages from my Xoom site. Anybody's help would be SO GRATEFULLY appreciated. Thanks! :)

David A,
Thank you very much for your helpful reply. I am just a little hazy on thing and here is why: The format I used for my page is three tables. The only body tag that I have is for colors: <body text="blah blah"> I tried to insert this tag a few different ways(guessing blindly like a kindergartener pinning the tail on the donkey, hee) and the results were the code you gave me in text for all the world to see. Could you please tell me a little more where to put this tag, or possibly refer me to a source for further info on the nature of these <code> tags? I have not used them thus far in my web endeavors so they are unfamiliar to me. I want you to know I really appreciate your response! Have a great day!
Lisa
