I've been up since 10 AM working on this code. It should not be taking me this long. Especially since I have coding experience. I just can't code on MySpace worth a damn. This should have been the easiest layout ever and I keep making errors left and right.

So, now I'm turning to you guys. Now, I've figured out everything on my own for the most part. After all, I'm not new to coding. I'm new to coding on MySpace and it's been one problem after another.

One of my biggest problems was making an image map, before realizing that the only way I'd be able to make an image map was to host it on another site. I couldn't find a free host to properly host my image map file, so I settled for a sliced image.

Then, when everything was just about finished, I realized that I had no comment box. So, I had to go back and re-write the whole first part of my code so that I could get a comment box. Then, I landed here, trying to find a code to remove the "top friends" part of the comment box, because I had already made a custom "top friends" section.

After finishing my comment box, and getting it positioned just where I wanted it to be, I realized that all the white text in my headers was somehow removed and I had to go back and figure that out. Then, almost everything was removed. I mean, all I had to do was figure out how to get the text back and I was done! But now it was ALL gone!!

Finally, I decided to remove the comment box and come back to that later. I put my original code back into the beginning and everything came back.

Everything... Except for one of my headers! And that's where I am. Ugh!

Anyway, here's my code. Maybe someone here can figure out what I'm doing wrong.

In my about me section:

FINISHED! I fixed the above problem by adding an h1 tag instead and editing the h1 tag in the CSS. Wow, why didn't I think of that before? Haha. Now, I feel stupid.

Oh, and I also added the comment box and removed the top 8 successfully. Everything is up and working! boxing.gif

So, umm... What did I need you guys for, again? Haha. Just kidding. Thanks for trying to help toyo loco. I appreciate it.
