It's just not working Options

[purplestarz]

This is my first skin and it looks ok, but when I submit it there is all this extra space and I'm just lost. I know I proabably need to work on the code, but seriously I just dont know where. Can someone please help?

You need to make your margin-top for the DIV less. Change it to like.. -400px. Yes, negative.
