Blog width, Xanga skin help Options

[DesiredVixen]

Ok so I just finished my xanga skin by making two div layer..one with jsut some info in it and the other holding my blog body. The blog body is all narrow and I made a space in my background image to allow for more width..Is there a way I can make it wider?

Any help will be nice thankies

You'll have to post your code and show us your xanga for us to see how to help you.

Thats my code...And basically on some browsers the div aren't aligned right, my blogging space is all narrow, and when I click on reviews or events..say I wanna add something, It is all pushed to the left...Anyone know how to fix these things?

My xanga is My Webpage

and it looks like this right now...


Thanks

table.blogbody {
/* this edits the other the place where the  blog is */
background-color:transparent;
family-font: Comic Sans MS;
BORDER: #6A4183 8px solid;
width:5px;} /* <-- The width for this should be around 5-15 pixels less then the width for your blog's div layer. */

find that part in your code and change the "5px" to a larger number until you have what you want

You can make it Firefox compatible, which in turn should make it work in Opera. Most of the time.

I tried that and it didn't do anything to my blog..it stayed exactly the same..Was the to help me with the review/events sections or my actuon blogging space? if its blogging space then there was no difference when I changed the number.
