Please be patient. Someone will help you when they get the chance. There is no need for double posting. Anyways I just read your post and no, it looks horrible with Firefox. The alignment is off and the fonts are messed up. I'm looking at it right now with Firefox. And I checked it in IE and it looks exactly the same. And I'm not sure why it's not working. I know it's like that for people with xanga premium skins when they have the free trial. Perhaps that's why.

1. Yes, double posting is when you make two successive posts. For example, you posted a screenshot and your code then another post about editing the skin for comments.
2. As for your problem...I've never seen that happen before and I'm not too sure what to tell you since I don't have premium. Maybe if you turn all your settings in to CSS, that might work. |

All the skins here on createblog are coded that way. Here's a tutorial on how to make a "non-premium" style skin: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48362 btw you have a premium skin up and for some reason xanga only allows premium style skins to show up on the main page. |

premium skins sort of make an entire page and the posts, dates, links, are placed as their own special tags such as <$posting calender$> (example not sure)
anywhere you specify them. non-premium skins input css and divs and a bit of javascript into the custom headers and website stats to change the style of the page based on predefined div classes (like .blogbody) |
