  From an html illiterate:

  I recently filmed a youtube video. Several local artists/businesses participated in the video, and I’d like to create a simple ad for them on my website.

  Specifically, I’d like to design a webpage with the youtube video embedded in the middle, and fill the left & right borders with smalll, simple .jpg/.gif ads for local artists/businesses that link to their websites.

  Please respond with “how to” and template recommendations.

  Thanks so much!

  what about a table?

  <table>
  <tr>
  <td>myjpg</td><td colspan="4">myvideo</td><td>myjpg</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>myjpg</td><td>myjpg</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>myjpg</td><td>myjpg</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>myjpg</td><td>myjpg</td>
  </tr>
  </table>

  This produces a table ready to accomodate 4 jpgs on each side and a video in the middle.
  Choose a template which accomodates the width you need (sum of the widths); here is a reference for the max width allowed for each theme: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/how-big-can-my-images-be/
  here is a “how to” for inserting videos: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/29/how-do-i-post-a-youtube-video/
  here is a reference for html /css: http://www.htmlref.com/
