I want to make an xanga theme and i think i nkow how to do most of it but i dont know where to get the starting code for the theme. Or do you have to make it from scratch? And if i do make one (doubt it will turn out good) where can i post it or turn it in?
If u could hepl me i'd love it! thanks! xoxo

Hmm...do you want an example of a style sheet? I can give you mine, but promise to change it as drastically as possible.

You can post it in Xanga Skins - it might or might not be accepted. Here's mine:

CODEBOX: -> right click -> copy/paste

<style type="text/css"> /*Edward Scissorhands*/ /* by Kathleen (xanga.com/kath1een) */ /* http://createblog.com */ body { background-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-arrow-color: #336699; scrollbar-track-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-shadow-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-face-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ffffff; cursor: crosshair; } div.blogheader, .caption { background-image: url(); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: right; font-family: Mistral; filter: glow(color=#336699,strength=2); text-transform: none; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; font-weight: bold; color: #336699; letter-spacing: none; background-color: #ffffff; text-align: left; border-right: none; border-left: none; border-top: none; border-bottom: none; } .blogbody b, .standard b, p b, strong { /* edits bolded text in your entry */ font-weight: bold; color: #336699; } .smalltext {text-align: center;} /* this centers the links under the blog */ input, select, textarea, iframe.htmleditor, .textfield, .button { /* this edits the buttons, dropdowns, etc. */ border: 1px solid #ffffff; font: normal 12px trebuchet ms; background-color: transparent; font-color: #336699;       } table.navigation, table.footer {display: none;} table.footer TD {display: none;} table.left th {display: none;} table.left {display: none;} table.blogbody tr td { /* this edits the left margin of blog */ width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; } table.blogbody { /* this edits the other the place where the  blog is */ background-color: transparent; border-right: none; border-top: none; border-left: none; border-bottom: none; font: 9px trebuchet ms; text-align: justify; width: 350px;} table.navigation, table.main, table.footer { /* the width of your blog with modules */ width: 350px; } a:link{line-height: 9px; font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: normal; color: #CCCCCC; text-transform: lowercase; font-size: 9px; cursor: none;} a:active{font-family: trebuchet ms; color: #CCCCCC; text-transform: lowercase; font-size: 9px;} a:visited{font-family: trebuchet ms; color:#CCCCCC; text-transform: lowercase; text-decoration: none; font-size: 9px; cursor: none} A:hover {font-family: trebuchet ms; color: #336699; text-transform: lowercase; cursor: crosshair; font-weight: normal; font-size: 9px;}</style>

you'll also need to make your banners and bgs...

it's pretty hard to start from scratch. If you're like everybody else, you find one you like that's already made, and copy and paste it.. but you have to do YOUR OWN BACKGROUND, BANNERS, Links, Colors, etc. etc.

well, actually, you can have ASCII artwork...but that's time-consuming...
