Code: [Select]

[b]
[right][size=14pt][b][color=red]<Map Message Here> (Ex. "Will you Descend?")[/color][/b][/size][/right]

[size=18pt][color=beige][u][b]About the map:[/b][/u][/color][/size]
<Message Here>

[b]
[u][size=18pt][color=beige]Progress:[/color][/size] [/u]

Use tables so those progress bars and dates vertically align.

Code: [Select]

[table]
[tr] [td]Subject[/td] [td]Progress bar[/td] [td]Date[/td] [/tr]

[tr] [td]Subject[/td] [td]Progress bar[/td] [td]Date[/td] [/tr]

[tr] [td]Subject[/td] [td]Progress bar[/td] [td]Date[/td] [/tr]
[/table]
