Okay. Being that my webdesign skills are extremely rusty, and that I am new to blogger... I wanted to use this layout that I found on cb. I reverted my blog to the "classic mode" or whatever, and then proceeded to insert the following code into my "Edit HTML" section of "Templates":
CODE
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>-l o o k c l o s e r-</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type=text/CSS>

I really assumed it would be that simple... so why does my blog now look like ka-ka? I saw others post on the layout that it was great and no one else seems to be having any problems with the layout... and I'm rather sad that it doesn't work for me!

-this is my blog, and the end result of what i thought would be a simple cut & paste-

Please help me! This is so embarrassing! What am I doing wrong??

I had to put the "Scribe" template back up because the one I kept trying to put in kept messing up... and you can't even read my writing when I have it up! I try to revert back to classic mode, and save it, and then input the html... and it still didn't work. I really don't understand
