Positioning Crisis, I posted this in blogger help first >< Options

So I'm not an HTML wiz, nor am I good at layouts. I've been trying some stuff out though, and I made a layout for my sister, Jane. To see the layout, Clickee here. Now, I'm trying to get the words to fill out the entire blogging space, but it just squishes up against the left side. How do I get rid of this? Thanks.

try this, just replace your header with this:

you just had to mess around with all of the widths. be sure you save your original codes first incase this doesn't work for you
