Blog refuses to budge. Options

[misanthropist]

All right, for some reason or another, I can't get my blog to move where I want it to. It just stays in its same place (i.e. below the custom modules) no matter what crazy ass numbers I decide to input when I use divs.

I literally have tried everything -- static, relative, floating, absolute, positive numbers, negative numbers, and just messing with every code I can find but none had been of any help. Obviously, I am trying to move the blog where it aligns well with the custom modules.

Here's the site I'm testing it on:
Xanga site

and here are the codes if you don't want to bother looking at it:

ah. very simple problem. finally something i can help with. u need to do the <div> for ur modules beforeyou do the <div> for the blog. so they need to be in that order in ur html.

Oh Oh Oh, I know somewhere in your custom modules you're missing the </td></tr></table><br> under every module that </td></tr></table><br> should be there, you should paste that in a place where there is not one if there is saposed to be. Or you're missing one at the very bottom
