Hi Sorry about this but do you no how to get the welcome text centred (Marked with arrow)?

and also how to get rid of the small square boxes (marked with arrow)?

You should try not to use inline styling as Blu Express showed. The best way to code a website is to keep the styling and markup seperated by using the CSS stylesheet to define the styling and applying classes and id's in the html.

As an example, in your html you could set a class for the <h3> element:

<h3 class="centredhead"><?php echo $subject;?></h3>

And then in the skin's CSS file, you would create the following rule:

h3.centredhead {
text-align:center;
}

That way you can seperate the styling from the HTML, which makes life much easier. Also, you can reuse the class you set (.h3.centredhead) and apply other styling options, such as font size, color etc. Another bonus is that you can change the styling of each occurrence of the h3 easily and in one go. If you use inline styling, you would have to manually change every occurrence in the HTML.

EDIT: Here are some tutorials on CSS styling:
