So about them div's. Heh heh heh., Um hey there again. Options

[skt]

I always post so late at night, so nobody is up (plus i'm on the west coast, dunno if anyone else is.)

ANYWAYS, I found the codes to hide everything, sat all day and figured out what each and everyone one of them do yada yada.

Basically I found myspaceprodesigns.

Anyways, to make a long story short, he doesn't really get into too much depth and it's kind of annoying because he uses basic color models for example.

body {
background-color: blue
}

however, whenever I use the code and try to input an entirely different color say...
#ededed or #ffcc90 which are both ugly colors I know...
nothing happens.
notta, zilch.

To make this quick, can anybody give me help here? I kind of figured out where each "style tag" goes and what it does, but I'm still pretty lost here and I've spent literally days trying to figure this out.

Help.

Oh, if you could message me on aim that'd be neat too.

Sorry about the "double post" thing, cox cable (a provider out here) has been really suckin it up the past couple days.

Anyways, I just don't know what I"m doing wrong, honestly. I had a layout up yesterday that I was all proud over, and then I couldn't figure out the positioning and why it wasn't meshing well with IE (firefox user) and spent 2 hours doing that. On top of the fact that it turned out I was using the wrong code for the wrong thing.

Stupid margin-top.

anyways, i guess what i'd like to know is, would it just be better to use all graphics? because as far as I'm concerned making your own divs is a huge pain in the...well...ya know.

and i've spent TOO much time trying to figure this out, and not enough time doing it.

I guess if i could just get some help, like a step by step process or something.
cause seriously, this is baffling me.
thanks.
