I designed a site www.risingphoenixma.org. When it displays on the site it displays with an 8x10 appearance. I want it to take up the whole screen... ? I have no idea how to do it.
Thanks.... Gene

I haven't really played with iWeb (I prefer other programs for coding), but my advice: don't.
Most users hate websites that resize your browser. Resizing someone's browser is rude. Just like opening 10 pop-ups, or having the whole site in flash for the sake of it being in flash would be.

I think what s/he's asking is for the website to fill the browser window width-wise, not resizing the browser window itself.
For this, I'm not sure if iWeb will do that since it's all template based. You would need a working knowledge of HTML/XHTML and CSS at a bare minimum in order to do this.
This is why web designers are not a dime-a-dozen: it takes a level of education and experience to do what you're asking, as it's not exactly trivial to do. If anyone could design a website to the exact specifications they want, that would single-handedly kill many, many, many web designers'/coders' livelihood.
If you want to build a bridge, you hire engineers to do so. Not everyone has the experience and education to build a bridge.
With that being said, I know of several web designers that can take your design and make it do whatever you'd like it to do -- none of them will do it for free, though.
If you'd like to take a crack at it yourself, you will need to do (at a minimum) the following:
1) Create a seamless image which will be the background, or, pick a color for the background.
2) Adjust the CSS for the website such that it includes a "wrapper" div which has attribute "width" set to "100%"
3) Adjust the child divs within the container div to be positioned how you would like them (relative, absolute, etc.) and adjust their CSS properties so that they are positioned correctly with respect to their parent divs and neighboring divs.
4) Test the layout in all browsers (as all browsers will interpret your CSS slightly differently depending on how its written) and make adjustments until they all display properly or acceptably.
If you'd like to post the HTML and CSS code for your site that you have so far, we can take a look at it and suggest some starting points. It may or may not be a simple task -- tough to tell until we can look at the code.
