Can't get Div layers to line up, nub at html so bear with me Options

[Th3sandm4n]

Makign a skin with the tutuorial found here. I got the Blog Div layer set up the way I want, but then when I try to align my other div boxes (Bio,interests,link,etc) it messes everything up.

Anyways here's the code I have so far:

You didn't change the margin values...

In the rest of the code, you forgot a lot of things.
Keep in mind to check it plenty of times.

I know, but when I edit teh values, it seems to mess with my blogs div also?
Which I don't get. But I'll remove and/or edit all the empty ones (###) and see if that fixes it.
