BioBox too big on home page

[Nikon_Mario]

I've been reading the slide thread and have used lots of info from there to create a slide show and bio text (combined together) on my home page. I really like it as it gives a neat little slide show while still allowing me to have some text about the site on the home page. Thanks for that! :clap

Now to my problem. I used the bio box to contain the text and the slide show. It works great except for the fact that the bio box is far longer than it needs to be. How can I bring the bottom of the bio box up so that it is just below the final bit of text in my home page?

Also - a little thing, how do I get my menu background color to be the same grey as the biobox?

thanks in advance,
Mario

Change the background colors of nav. Here's the whole thing, too many
changes to list individually.

You moved everything up to position in the biobox so add the
margin-bottom to such up the bottom of the box.:D

#myBioText2 {
position: relative;
text-align: left;
top: -175px;
width: 720px;
margin-bottom: -160px;
}

You moved everything up to position in the biobox so add the
margin-bottom to such up the bottom of the box.:D

#myBioText2 {
position: relative;
text-align: left;
top: -175px;
width: 720px;
margin-bottom: -160px;
}

Thanks, Allen! That got everything done and it looks great! I appreciate the time you guys put into solving the problem. :bow
