Deleting blank spaces and reducing negative space

[teeeeer]

I'm pretty new to the web design scene and I just had a few small questions.

I was wondering how to reduce this unused space and bring things closer together

Also one last thing.

how can I bring this text up beside the image

Thanks heaps for any help you provide

For starters, you are using tables for your layout. This will not help you with proper flexible layouts.

Secondly, it is hard for us to help you without seeing the code; images do not help.

I 2nd Ben's remarks about not using tables for layouts.  It's no longer necessary with CSS layouts.

All browsers add default margins and padding to every HTML element.  And the amount varies in each browser.  If you want to reduce white space or establish a baseline, you can zero out margins & padding in your CSS code or use a CSS Resetter such as Normalize.css

Normalize.css: Make browsers render all elements more consistently.
