OK I have a few questions - On my site ( www.xanga.com/lpdrummer )
The skin I am working on is a bit messed up. I would like the WHOLE thing to be centered, Change the colors of the "About Me, Subscription" text and lines, and get the page to stop after a certain amount of text (Right no you can scroll down to the beginning of time!).

Can anyone help me out? Even answering one would be a huge help!

And what exactly will that do? The only thing you changed was "margin-left: 30px". What does that do?

I need Nyah-Neko! wacko.gif

your code is extremely hard to understand because it appears that everything is jumbled up with no spaces and line breaks. it will make it alot easier if you would kinda seperate it.

What, me? ^_^ Sorry, our power went out.... Hm, let's see what I can do here.....
Map names must be one word, they must also match. You don't need two image codes.... =/ Image should probably be moved by a div, but I'm not gonna mess with that unless it still doesn't work. Your navigation may have to be changed to a bit diffrenttable, but it might not. I took out all unessecary junk.

OK I put your code in, but it still dosent look quite right...

If you can show me how to get the back ground lines to line up with the main header and how to move the blog margins, I can play around with it myself, im just not sure what does what! cry.gif

Replace this ::
With something more like this ::

----
Left-aligned: may need left margin of -7 or so
Centered: should line up
Right: Does not look pretty on Xanga, I suggest you don't use.
----
Blog margins? Uh.... Mess with the very last line of actual code, this part ::
CODE
<div style="width:501px; margin-top: -305px; margin-left: 293px;" valign=top>
The vertical align (valign) part may be what's screwing iit up. I thought that was a table command. =/
----
If you still don't get it.... I'll add comments into the code.

Replacing the original code with the other one only made the main image even more off centerred, so I gotta play around with that a bit more.

Also, my skin is centered, not left or right alligned.

As for the last part......I'm not sure I understand. Take out valign completely? And does that move my blog body or side bar?

Yes, take it out completely. Blog entries.
If it's centered, your image should line up fairly well.... Oh crap. I did it wrong again.... Use this for the image. =/

OK That div center allign (<div align="center">) didnt work, so I ended up doing this-



And it centers perfectly! Yey! Now I just need to get that disable horizontal scrollbar code and change the color of those lines that are beneath the date of my entry...

actually when you scroll right (since your hor. scrollbar is there) i noticed the yellow line going down isn't scrolling with your xanga.

p.s. I'm using IE
