I am trying to make my pages fit an 800x600 resolution screen and my
problem is too much "white space." I can't seem to get rid of it! I am
using Frontpage and have just started learning about CSS (and I am
using it). I just figured out that things such as Headings already
have a certain amount of space after them and so I manually changed
that on my style sheet. But I can't seem to get the "bulleted list"
settings to change. There's too much space between items. I have
changed the settings on my style sheet, but my pages don't reflect the
changes. I have even tried selecting the table, removing the
formatting and then relinking the style sheet, but nothing. Also, I
can't get my tables to totally
but up against the left shared border. The bottom of the page is also
a problem, as the three columns are different lengths. How can I fix
these problems? The website is: http://mammasmilk-com.temp-url.com/
Any critiques would be welcome!

To get rid of the white space border around your page contents use the
following in your style sheet:

<style>
body{margin:0px;padding:0px;}
</style>

you can also add other body markup if you want default fonts,
background colors, etc.

Scott2000,
Thank you so much. Why a comment and not an answer? (Did you not know
all of the parts?) I appreciate your help very much!-Jude1

Jude1--

Presumably, Scott2000 is only a registered user on Google
Answers--meaning he can ask questions and make comments on questions. 
Commentors are not paid, nor are they necessarily qualified.  In this
case, you asked your question to the Researchers, but Scott2000 chimed
in with good advice for free, as (hopefully) I am now.

IMPORTANT:  CANCEL YOUR QUESTION.  Since you got a _free_ answer from
a commentor already, you can get by paying only the $0.50 listing fee,
rather than the $50.00 you offered for the question.  See more at:

ABOUT YOUR QUESTION:  Scott's advice addressed only the margins on the
edges of the document itself, not above/below the bullet points.  If
his advice works fine, I'll be quiet.  However, to remove the extra
line Frontpage automatically inserts between the bullet points, use
this CSS code, without the description underneath.

<style> li {margin-bottom: 0px} </style>
         ^         ^
        (all      (remove the
         list      margin
         items)    underneath)

Best of luck!  --godofphotoshop
