quick question... Options

hey! 'tis meh first time on these boards. -bows- it's nice to meet you all...

anyways, getting to the point, i'm having a bit of a problem with my xanga. i'm using one of the codes on createblog, however, i noticed that the date header for each entry was stretching across the page. ^^;

this is what it looks like:


i want to shorten it up so that the background of the date header doesn't cover up the image in my background.

the specific chunk of CSS:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br />/* edits the date */<br />div.blogheader, .caption {<br /> background-image: url();<br /> background-repeat:no-repeat;<br /> background-position:center;<br />font-family: georgia;<br />text-transform:none;<br />font-size:18px;<br />line-height:25px;<br />font-weight:normal;<br />color:#000000;<br />letter-spacing:2px;<br />background-color:#ffffff;<br />text-align:center;<br />border:1px solid #000000;<br />}<br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

i personally am a HTML person, so this is my first time using CSS. even so, i've fiddled around with almost all the variables in this code and nothing's happened. ><;
