That doesn't even work.

[talcumpowder]

He has them backwards. And you edit the hex codes.... o.O
#40405 is the first color and #383849 is the second. You replace those wherever you see them.

[GrayStarr]

huh? o yea i think i hav it backwords....

anyways, i don wanna kno where to put the colors, i wanna kno how to make the DATE not alternate cuz it alternates wit the entries....

[talcumpowder]

...... =/ There's not a apparent way to do that. I don't think you could do that anyways..... Althought setting the color for it with CSS might work.

if(i % 2 != 0){
if(blogheaders[i].previousSibling.tagName.toLowerCase().indexOf("div")!=-1){
blogheaders[i].previousSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#404051";} /* <--- this for the odd entry's date background */
blogheaders[i].style.backgroundColor = "#404051"; /* <-- this for the odd entry's background */
blogheaders[i].nextSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#404051";
}
else{
if(blogheaders[i].previousSibling.tagName.toLowerCase().indexOf("div")!=-1){
blogheaders[i].previousSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#383849";} /*<--- this for the even entry's date background*/
blogheaders[i].style.backgroundColor = "#383849"; /* <--- this for the even entry's background*/
blogheaders[i].nextSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#383849";
}

is it better for you ??
anyway, this script work for xanga.,

[ckling]

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br />    if(i % 2 != 0){<br />  if(blogheaders[i].previousSibling.tagName.toLowerCase().indexOf("div")!=-1){<br />   blogheaders[i].previousSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#404051";}<br />  blogheaders[i].style.backgroundColor = "#404051";/* color for blog */<br />  blogheaders[i].nextSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#000000";<br /> } else{<br />  if(blogheaders[i].previousSibling.tagName.toLowerCase().indexOf("div")!=-1){<br />   blogheaders[i].previousSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#404051";}<br />  blogheaders[i].style.backgroundColor = "#000000";<br />  blogheaders[i].nextSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#000000";<br /> }<br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

[talcumpowder]

There's no script tags. Try this.

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><script><br />    if(i % 2 != 0){<br />  if(blogheaders[i].previousSibling.tagName.toLowerCase().indexOf("div")!=-1){<br />   blogheaders[i].previousSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#404051";}<br />  blogheaders[i].style.backgroundColor = "#404051";/* color for blog */<br />  blogheaders[i].nextSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#000000";<br /> } else{<br />  if(blogheaders[i].previousSibling.tagName.toLowerCase().indexOf("div")!=-1){<br />   blogheaders[i].previousSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#404051";}<br />  blogheaders[i].style.backgroundColor = "#000000";<br />  blogheaders[i].nextSibling.style.backgroundColor = "#000000";<br /> }<br /></script><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

[GrayStarr]
