[tiffanyco]

Here's my journal: http://funkytownosaka.livejournal.com/

I need help on putting on headers and borders. Which codes am I supposed to use?? I want a border around the outside of my entries. I seriously have no idea. So, if you can, please help! You'd be a really big help. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Hope you guys help! ;)

border outside each entry or border outside all of your entries?

try adding a border: _px value to table { and see if you like the result.

as for header, i'm assuming you mean a header image?

in your LASTN_WEBSITE, add

CODE

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.x {
position:absolute; left:0; top:0; z-index: -10; }
-->
</style>
<img
src="" class="x" width="#" height="#">

also, make sure you have a webpage url listed in your profile (manage-info)

I meant a border outside all of my entries. Sorry for not being clear. I wasn't exactly sure on how to explain it. >.< And, yeah, I did mean a header image. Sorry on that too. I'm not very familiar with LJ.
Thanks for the code. I'm still a little confused on where to put it though. I can't find "LASTIN_WEBSITE" in my code. Here's the code that's pasted into my journal:

Whenever I try to post the code into my code, it disappears. Why do codes disappear in LJ?? It's confusing. I recogzine HTML codes and everything, but LJ doesn't cooperate with me.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.x {
position:absolute; left:0; top:0; z-index: -10; }
-->
</style>
<xx-img
src="http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p270/funkytownosaka/banner01.jpg" class="x" width="623" height="354">

Did I fill it in right?? Please continue to help me. Thankss. ;)

then just make a LASTN_WEBSITE

so, just paste this at the bottom:

CODE

LASTN_WEBSITE<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.x {
position:absolute; left:0; top:0; z-index: -10; }
-->
</style>
<xx-img
src="http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p270/funkytownosaka/banner01.jpg" class="x" width="623" height="354">
<=LASTN_WEBSITE

ok, try this for the border

CODE

.entrybox {
border: 1px solid #DCDCDC;
}

see if thats what you want


---
i see you've switched to a plus account. in that case, you should use

CODE

table table {
border: 2px dotted #FFFFFF;
}
