Hi Penny, I'm seeing the boxes. Did you get this figured out?

@Penny I'm seeing your boxes but they aren't displaying all on the same line. I'm seeing 2 of the 3 on the top line, the other underneath them. Also, I detected the word "jewelry" is not spelled correctly on your site. :) Blame this detection on my proof-reading days! --Bonnie

hi guys it turned out for some reason some divs had appeared in my html have no idea how. seem to have it correct now. Hi bonnie I live in Australia and spell jewellery like the word was intended by the brits, not everything in the world has to be spelt like an american :( Jewellery? Jewelery? Jewelry? There are some words in the English language that everybody seems to have trouble with. Ask 10 people in an English speaking country to spell the word 'Jewelry' and you'll get at least 3 different answers. Perhaps because of this uncertainly, many would be reluctant to correct anothers' choice of spelling. Although phonetically there is no difference; jewellery is normally always pronounced with 3 syllables JOO-uhl-ree, irrespective of a double 'l' or not. The word has its origin in a combination of the latin jocale "plaything" and a medieval French word jouel, which later became the anglicised jewel. Following the established British English spelling rule, stating that the final consonant of a word should be doubled when its added suffix begins with a vowel, we get jewel-lery.This rule usually applies to instances where the final syllable ends with a vowel followed by a single consonant: Jeweller. UK Correctly Written 'Jewellery'? As a consequence, some in the UK, believe the only 'correct' variant to be: 'Jewellery'. However, although it is little known, the spelling 'Jewelry' is also legitimate and contemporarily acceptable, as correctly written UK English. Jewelry is thought to have had some currency as a preferred 'poetic' or 'rhetorical' spelling in British English. This uncertainty leads many to select a favourite spelling variant and use it exclusively, comfortable in the knowledge that few would question them. USA Correctly Written 'Jewelery'? In referencing the Oxford English Dictionary, the correct variant in the USA is 'Jewelery'. This seems at odds with the apparent popularity of the variant 'Jewelry', that pervades written USA English. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/1071881
