[avalon*]

can you tell us what's wrong?

[xosincitygurlox]

it`s not turning out the way i thought it would..i want the picture to be in the background then have the blog area on top of it..like in the center..

[C.Lime.Jello.]

You need a div layer for that.

CODE

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

<div style="
overflow: auto;
width: ###px;
height: ###px;
margin-top: ###px;
margin-left: ###px;">

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

(Replace the # signs with real numbers.)
(Fiddle with it to get the result you want.)
