I'm having some issues with the Xanga skin tutorial that's listed on this site. I'm trying to get a layout based on this picture:

http://www.geocities.com/jade_faerie/layout1.jpg

but the <div> labels aren't working right--the sections appear underneath or above the image instead of on top of it.
Also, in the tutorial, it says that you should put the code into the "input header html" section--but I don't think that exists anymore. (I'm pretty new to Xanga; I used to be on Blogspot.) When I want to make a skin or customized layout, there's just one box for inputting all my code.

What should I do? Tips? Advice? Am I an idiot?! blink.gif

Okay. Well, my problem with the scrollbar actually is that it doesn't show up colored in Firefox, but I just checked it in IE and it seems fine there ...

About the way I was coding: I set up the page in regular HTML on my computer and then transferred it to Xanga and changed what I thought I would need to. It's a little awkward, but it's easier for me to mess with a page on my computer than it is to mess with it online.

I still need to know how to format my posts so that the fonts are the right size (I want it to be the same size as the profile info) and line spacing and stuff. Did I make a mistake there?
