Help with Skin Options

[sweetiecandy]

I pasted the code for this skin: http://www.createblog.com/skins/preview.php?id=4750 on my xanga, but it came out like: http://www.xanga.com/amorastur

I'm not sure how to fill in the about me box with my own information. Also, the pictures behind the text (such as the date of the entry) don't show up either.

This is the code I entered into the "input your own header" field:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

<style type="text/css">

Thanks for your help!

[luvzcha]

did u change anything from the code u get?

oh, and next time, please use the codebox

That pciture in your welbog is making it strech that's why, and the repeating-bg just might be down or something, and if it does that then I guess I can always re upload it.

[sweetiecandy]

Thank you so much!!! I really don't understand much about the xanga codes and stuff.

[Kenado]

You're welcome and the images aren't showing up probably because of that galler imag stuff if you want to have that then you'd just want it for the main image.
