Well, those would be the main divs.

You create a div by using this code:

CODE

<div class="main" style="position: absolute; top:527px; left:430px; width:316px; height:205px;overflow:auto;">

You need to change the height and width accordingly, and then position it. I'm not too sure what image program you use, but usually when you put your mouse cursor where you want to position the div (put your mouse where the top left corner would be) it will give you numbers in the lower right hand corner of the program.

If you'd like you can use a picture you've uploaded to myspace (you can find the url for that image by right clicking "properties" and it should say "Address: (URL)" and that's the url for the image.

To link the image use this code:

CODE

<a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=######"><img src="Http://URLOFIMAGE"></a>

Change "####" to your friend ID (if you don't know how to find that let me know) and URLOFIMAGE.

You're welcome

I don't use imageready... but I'm pretty sure someone else can elaborate on that.
But if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
