left side modules, custom modules Options

[Amie91280]

I used the code for Custom Modules and I can't seem to postion it how I want. I know it has something to do with div layers, but I'm just trying it out for the first time. I've wanted to make custom modules for a while but have been too chicken to try it. At first mine were in my blog area and above the writing in the blog (I wanted them to be on the left in their own space). I tried a few different codes and they all turned out the same. Then I got the brilliant idea to put the code as the very first thing in my Header HTML. Now they're on the left, but they're above the box I want them in, and no matter how large a number I put for the margin top, they won't move down any farther. What am I doing wrong?

Here's the link to my site. You have to scroll way down to see it, I think it has something to do with the top margin I put for the modules.

Here's the code I'm using

It definitely has something to do with your top margin. And move the image before the custom div.
