Right click the left side of your ladder page. Click on view source. It will automatically open the page in notepad (in html format). At the top of the notepad click on file then choose save as (i suggest something like leftpageleague its much easier to remember.) Now comes the tricky part, We need to delete some of what we have in the note pad that you copied from your page. DELETE THE FOLLOWING (*NOTE:Its the top portion of the page)
Copy and paste the below and add it where you just removed the above stuff from. (change the colors of the fonts to what you like)
Left Side
Now we have our new left side. Take all the html in the notepad and save it in HTML format to your server. (Again i suggest an easy name to remember.) Ok now you notice people have cool little pictures next to thier links. Simple... find one you like and upload it to your server keep in mind the size can be altered some but to large of a picture wont look rite. If you look in the html that makes up your left side you will see this tag quite often...
Just replace the url to the ya.gif with the url to the new .gif you want to use. Example...
I suggest leaving the height and width and the vspace(vertical space) although you can change them to get the look you are going for. Ok now we got our page and we are ready to Onload the new left side.
