.. I don't see a box with a blue border..

[highly_evolved]

sry my fault..its there now.

[whomps]

Well, at the top of your code, where it says

[highly_evolved]

ahh!! thx!!!!!

[whomps]

You need to enter a number of pixels for margin-left and margin-top.
The number of pixels for margin-left is the number of pixels you want your blog to be moved to the right. The bigger the number, the more your blog will move to the right. You can use negative numbers if you want your blog to go more the left that is under 0.

For the number of pixels for margin-top, it's the number of pixels you want your blog to move down.
You can make your blog move ON TOP of your image by using negative numbers.

That's exactly what I said to the other dude
The key is putting negative numbers in the Margin-top part.

were not worthy of your all greatness in xanga skins. were not worthy!!!!

[highly_evolved]

sory to double post....buut iv been playing with the numbers putting negatives in and such but nothing changes...y?

[whomps]

Well if you want to bring your blog up, in your "margin-top:" part just put like.. "-100px" and yeah. Keep on trying.

[highly_evolved]
