You need custom modules..... Or you can use the padding class.... But custom modules would be so much easier.

you make two divs, one for the information and one for the blog. you make the information one the size you want and move it appropriately. Then position the blog accordingly.

make xanga position left so the position:static; things will work

^ he's right but POSITION:STATIC still works even when the general settins are set to right. left right doesn't really matter when it comes to that...I THINK.
anyways...

here are the codes for the DIVs. use the following one for the custom modules.
PASTE IN CUSTOM HEADER

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><div id="custom" style="position:static; margin-left: ###px; margin-top: ###px; border: 0px solid #ffffff; width: ###px; height: ###px; background: transparent; overflow: auto;"><br /><br />CONTENT HERE you can even put HTML in here.;D<br /><br /></div><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

after all of that, use this next code to position the blog.

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><div id="custom" style="position:static; margin-left: ###px; margin-top: ###px; border: 0px solid #ffffff; width: ###px; height: ###px; background: transparent; overflow: auto;"><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

and make sure that you put ^ that code AFTER the first code i gave you.
and make sure to change all of the # signs to real numbers. and on the last code i gave you...don't close it with </div> (leave it open)

guh....so much information.

setting xanga to "center" will result in mass movement of divs when resizing windows
