ok well i'm trying to make a simple skin but it's not working out too well.

i've uploaded my image, but the 1st thing is, how do i get the links to work? i've image mapped it but it doesn't work. am i supposed to use the .htm file i got off that somehow?

i used jasc paint shop pro

and how do i get my blog IN the image? i've tried using these 2 codes

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><div style="overflow: auto; width: ###px; height: ###px; margin-top: ###px; margin-left: ###px;"> <br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><div id="content" style="margin-top: Xpx; margin-left: Xpx; width: Xpx; height: X; overflow: visible"><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

ok, i think i got it down. but when i put the image as a background the links don't work. i have to put it in the custom header. but then it acts like a banner with links. so is there a code for making an image mapped image as the background? thnx
