Hi guys,

I'm wondering if there is a cleaner way to do what I've done with the top of my site. Below is what my goal was.

[----------------------------------------------------------]
[----------------------------------------------------------]
[---------<image>-<h1 tagged site name>-<Image>---------]
[----------------<navigation bar with links>----------------]
[----------------------------------------------------------]


With my current code i can't get the images on the left and right to center vertically without pushing the nav bar to low. Also the whole page isn't right in the center but you don't really notice it until you get screen res's with a small width. Its not all that bad and it's so close enough to being the way i want it that i can live with it. The main problem i think I'm having is how messing my css code is. It doesn't really seem like my head and nav wrap tags even do anything. I'd like to here any advise to pull this off without so much code. I think it may even show some light on my alignment problems if it was cleaner. If you want to see the site its at wararmada dot com. Just keep refreshing when you get the 500 internal server error its a free host.

Thanks!
