well, i see that the CSS isn't all fixed yet, so maybe you should customize the whole thing first. as for the transparent scrollbar, use this:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type="text/css"><br />div {<br />filter:chroma(color=#00FF00); <br />scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFFFFF;<br />scrollbar-face-color: #00FF00; <br />scrollbar-3dlight-color: #00FF00; <br />scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #00FF00; <br />scrollbar-highlight-color: #00FF00;<br />scrollbar-shadow-color: #00FF00;<br />scrollbar-track-color: #00FF00;<br />}<br /></style> <br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

the color code in the chroma parentheses tells which color will be made transparent. so every part of the scrollbar that you put that color in will be transparent. every other color code will show up. but it will show only in IE browser.

thanks fo rthe help with the transparency...but i'm still confused about the text in my blog area...

okay...i think i figured that part out...but how come when i click on add eprops or comments...when it goes to that page, the blog is again a different size??

anyone?

-Please do not triple post. Be patient. Thanks.
