Please help with my xanga skin... Options

[shekkel_kahn]

I can't seem to get the stuff on my skin to go where I want it to go. I'm using Dreamweaver mx and I still don't know why my layers won't move where I want them to go. Chatango mini to the left. Darkplayer bottom left. I can't get them to move into the right spot. They'll move a little bit and then no more, no matter what I change the margins to. Also, my blog (body) section won't stay as wide as I want it. I wanted it to be just wide enough to fit the thought bubble thing in the top left and not have a horizontal scrollbar. well... it just won't go and I've gotten really frustrated with it. I need some help. I'll post the picture and the code now.

oooo you use draemweaver? oh yes.... i use fireworks MX. this is great.

anyway, if you are worried about everything moving, things do that. another note, try using a simple notepad because dreamweaver is a bit complicated.

i think you nee div layers for moving stuff

div layer tutorial

[shekkel_kahn]

I was using Div layers and I understand what's happening in Dreamweaver. When I use the preview in browser (a Dreamweaver Function) It looks exactly how I want it to.....but for some lame reason it doesn't work in the look and feel on my xanga. Wtf? Somebody try messing with the code or something please.
