I was told that you are the person to go to when in trouble and I am. In trouble.
I have tried to get some help via the panic-forum but alas, I had to come bothering you...

The top half of my page dissappeard after I tried to copy some links and hit the "edit page-button"
Now the said button is also missing. I can't see any way to fix this myself.

And please explain slowly as I am obviously not good at this...

OK, here's what I found was wrong:

Most of your font tags are wrong - you have <FONT the one size=... hence page. had your havoc unfinished, you're i'm rest you've random a to headers, fact, but also lot bits when <font and of at in end wreaking are tried put tag which wasn't closing any corresponding tag, which can't have helped.

I've removed all the problems from the page that I could see, so you should be able to edit it properly.

And you spelled 'excited' incorrectly. smiley - smiley

And another - you ended an link with a / which has the effect of closing the tag immediately, which you didn't want to do because it then doesn't surround the text you wanted linked.

Just so it's clear:
- opens a TAG element - anything after it is 'inside' the element until you put...
- closes a TAG element.
- an empty TAG element which doesn't contain anything else. Anything following such an empty tag is not affected by the tag. You have to do this for BR tags, for example, otherwise XML doesn't like it.
