I have created a website, www.consideritdoneevents.com, and it will open in
firefox, but none of the links work and it doesn't look quite right. Can
anyone help me with this?
Thanks for any help

You are using VML graphics (Text Boxes, Word Art, other objects from
the Drawing ToolBar) which will only display in Internet Explorer 5.5
and later on Windows PCs.
Links involving VML components will not work in any browser other than
IE.

Remove all the VML.

Thanks, but will that really make everything work in Firefox? How do you
suggest designing the site without the VML? I am not a web designer, which
is why I bought frontpage so what other outlets do I have to get all of my
information on the page looking the same way it does now?
THanks

VML will not work in Firefox, or in any other non-microsoft browser.
If you are using text-boxes, redesign the page using tables, or (more
difficult) CSS layers.
Word Art and other drawing objects can be copied (Alt+PrtScn) and
pasted into a graphics program (Paint will do), then cropped and saved
for the web as a .jpg or .gif
Then File->Import into your FrontPage web and then place onto a page.
Again use tables to position the images.
