Ted,
  I am afraid I have to agree with Lon. You do need to go through the w3
school. Anyhow here is small example of what you are after. It is one of
several ways to go and it is very basic.

  BTW you need to put a complete dtd on that page to get the browsers
out of quirks mode.

   <div id="main"
       style="width:150px;color:#000000; background-color:ThreedFace;
font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:11px;
font-weight:500;">
          <div id="title"
          style="width:100%; background-color:InfoText;
color:#FFFF66;font-weight:700; text-align:center;">
             HOME
          </div>
          <div id="lc" style="float:left;width:50%;">
             Words<br />
             Words
          </div>
          <div id="rc" style="foat:left;left:50%;">
             words<br />
             words
          </div>
       </div>
