I've checked the FAQ and tried a search, but to no avail. It seems like this should be a common question, but alas...

At any rate, I've applied a skin to my home page. Is there anyway to get the same skin to apply to my Profile and Guestbook pages? Or can you only modify those pages through "Look and Feel"?

Thanks,

Z

Premium skin?
If so, I remember Tia (souldreamers) saying that you need to apply the layout to look and feel too.

^ but those weird 'premium' tags won't work in the look and feel box... you need to edit the codes a lot...

Not so much in actuality. All you really edit is where the divs go and what they contain.
I've done more overhauling on a website to Xanga.

Yeah, it's premium - I'm basically using a slightly modified version of X-Gel Blue.

When I go to look and feel, the only place I see that I can put custom HTML is in the Header box - which tries to put everything at the top of the page above the content. Am I overlooking something? Or can I only duplicate the top of the page?

..... I think you should maybe look at a Xanga skinning tutorial.

It can probably give you an idea of what you're needing to change... And explain what you need to do better than I can. Oh, and you can put HTML in webstats too.

When I first looked through them, they didn't seem to apply to a premium skin, but I'm trying to decipher where the similarities are now to see if I can glean anything from those tutorials.

Here's the code for the skin:

Here's something to start with. A quick note, whatever holds your blog, it has to go last and be unclosed until you get to webstats, that's where you'd close it.

Thanks for your help. I've managed to get a consistent look, at least :)
