Coding Trouble Options

[brokenacoustiks]

My xanga is http://www.xanga.com/brokenacoustiks. As hard as I try, i can't seem to resize the blog. When you're in "private" the blog seems to be resized but then when you go to "public preview" it turns out all funny again. Can you help please? Also..how do I make the date to be in the center? I tried putting "text-alignment: center" but it didn't work. Lastly, I tried turnind the cursor into crosshair but whenever you move it off of the image, it reverts back into an arrow. How do I keep it at a crosshair at all times? here's my code

It's a little long..I dunno how to shorten it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been so frustrated with this and for the past six hours I've been sititng here trying to fix it. Thanks so much =)

Use the codebox, not the quote please.

[talcumpowder]

Sorry, I was fixing it up just a tad and all the spaces annoyed me. >.< Yeah, and 100px for your blog? It's a little bit insane. You do realize that'd be smaller than the default modules, right? I suggest you try to make it larger, because that's probably why you're having the problems.

nyah-nek0 thank you soo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =]

[talcumpowder]

Um, so can I take your layout of my tester now? And you're very welcome for the help.

[brokenacoustiks]

Yup! Btw..um do u know how I can fix the date so it goes in the middle? i tried using text-align:center but i guess tht didn't work.

[talcumpowder]

Are you sure...?

CODE

<style type="text/css">div.blogheader, .caption{text-align: center;}</style>

That works for me.
