<td style="border:1px solid black">SEO <td style="border:1px solid black"> <td style="border:1px solid black">United States Missouri  Adair County Guide to Adair County, Missouri ancestry, family history, and genealogy birth records, marriage records, death records, census records, family history, and military records.
 * A short sentence of about 25 words giving details as to what material is in the article.
 * Appears just under the breadcrumb trail.
 * When you search your browser for a topic this SEO will appear under the title of the web page.
 * Take some pains to create this SEO, the world will see it and hopefully want to visit your page because of what you wrote in the SEO.

<td style="border:1px solid black">Table column spans <td style="border:1px solid black"> <td style="border:1px solid black">
 * Notice there is only one cell in the row where the column span is located.

<td style="border:1px solid black">Table row span <td style="border:1px solid black"> <td style="border:1px solid black">
 * Notice one less cell in the second row.

<td style="border:1px solid black">Parameters <td style="border:1px solid black"> <td style="border:1px solid black">name of parameter
 * ''Parameters are usually part of a template.
 * To place a parameter:
 * Note the pipe before the parameter and the equal sign after.

<td style="border:1px solid black">If functions <td style="border:1px solid black"> | | parameter= If nothing is entered after the equal sign the entire line will be missing. <td style="border:1px solid black">If the parameter is blank, there is no line. If the parameter is added, the text will show.
 * Be careful and be sure that all symbols are present in your code. If a single pipe is missing, for example, this will not work.

<td style="border:1px solid black">Position relative <td style="border:1px solid black"> <div style=" position:relative "> <div style="position:relative; top:20px; left:100px ">Stuff
 * You can place the relative position objects with top or bottom and left or right attributes:
 * Remember relative position places objects in relation to where the browser would put the object on a page, if not told otherwise.

<td style="border:1px solid black">

<td style="border:1px solid black">Position-absolute <td style="border:1px solid black"> <div style=" position:absolute "> Stuff <td style="border:1px solid black">
 * ''All "position absolute" should be within "position relative" attributes.
 * Remember absolute position places items in just where you want it.
 * ''You are not controlled by the browser as in relative position.'.
 * However, it ignores what is already on the page in the same spot and covers it up.
 * Most of the time your absolute positioned item will be inside relative position object.
