You have an odd line in your code. It looks like this:

Code: Select all

<link rel="alternate" title=<IMG SRC="title.gif">href="/rss.xml"type="application/rss+xml"/>
It looks like two different things have been blended together: an image and the rss feed.

Your best bet is probably to just remove the whole line until you are sure you know what it is that you want in that spot. If you want an rss feed, it should look like this:

Code: Select all

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Yoyo Boy - RSS" href="http://yoyoboy.comicgenesis.com/rss.xml" />

The background goes into the Body tag, not in the head (unless you are using a stylesheet, which you're not).

You already have it specified, here:

Code: Select all

<BODY BACKGROUND="/images/ground.gif" BGPROPERTIES="fixed">
The reason it's not showing up is probably because:
  1. the image is not called ground.
  2. the image is not a gif (might be a jpg or a png).
  3. the image is not in the images folder.
  4. the image has a different case (Ground.gif or ground.GIF or GROUND.gif)

If by logo you mean a banner, they are relatively straightforward.

It goes after the Body tag and after the ***advertisement*** tag. You would use something like:

Code: Select all

<img src="/images/logo.jpg">
And just put it wherever you want the logo to show up. As for aligning the comic, it depends on which way you want to align it. The "easy" way is to put it in the middle by having:

Code: Select all

<center>
... stuff like the comic image ...
</center>
around what you want to be centered.
