I am taking a class to create a website. So far I am very happy, but I would like to make a left page column to put my buttons in. I do not know how, or what to look up. Find tags is easy, is that all it is? & If so, what, or what should I search for.

My Next question...is just opinion. What do you think of adding music to websites, & how would I go about doing it. I am making a site for my ranch, so mainly country music, but some pages I would like alternative. I like to be able to turn the music off when I visit pages, so I want that option available.

Thanks for your time.
 
You have to use DIVs in your page layout to create good columns. There are a ton of pages on the web that explain how to to this, so a Google search would be advisable. You should know how to use cascading style sheets (CSS) for this to be effective. It's a lot easier to do, and you can reuse the styles over and over for other pages.

As for the music: I've been on the Internet in one way or another since 1986. Whoever came up with the idea of embedding music is web pages should be drawn and quartered. Putting links or controls for music on your page is fine. But if I come to your page and hear music without ME turning it on, I move on and won't come again. I don't care what musicians say, what marketing people tell you, what all your friends say. Keep the music off by default. This is the major reason I NEVER go to MySpace.
 
You should look up the div tag. Using css and the div tag, that is how I design most of my websites. Some of the of the more specific css properties, is: position, margin-left, margin-top, padding, width, and height.

There are several ways to embed music into your site. You can use google to find different shockwave players. The old fashion way was using the embed tag.
