I am a newbie as far as html, css, and blogger go. I have gotten where I am with trial and error. If someone could help me that would be great. The main post and the comment always go back to black. I would like to keep them grey. <!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><br /><br /><br /><br /><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><br /><br /><head><br /><img src="http://img13.imgspot.com/u/05/5/06/blogtitle3r.JPG"><br /> <$BlogMetaData$><br /><br /> <style type="text/css"><br />/<br />Template created somewhat by By Abe55....but mostly by someone who know what they were doing<br />/<br /><br /><br />body {<br /> background:#000000;<br /> margin:0;<br /> padding:20px 10px;<br /> text-align:center;<br /> font:x-small/1.5em "Trebuchet MS",Verdana,Arial,Sans-serif;<br /> color:#cccccc;<br /> font-size/* /://small;<br /> font-size: //small;<br /> }<br /><br /><br />/ Page Structure<br />----------------------------------------------- /<br />/ The images which help create rounded corners depend on the <br /> following widths and measurements.

Member Group: Member Posts: 18 Joined: Jan 2005 Member No: 80,166	Check out my Blog therevblog I figured out my problem with my mod box changing color on me. It was resetting back to the default because I forgot to enter the # before the hex color. Newbie mistake. I still have one problem with my mod box moving around depending on which page I am on. It is great in the main page but in the comment page it has moved a little. Could any give me some suggestions how to fix this problem. I know it has something to do with the comments tag lines but I am scared to mess with Blogger tags because I don't really understand them all as of yet. I am self taught by trial and error and createblog.com. Any help would be great Abe55
