well you can use div. just try to edit the numbers so that it's positioned in the space that you want them to appear on ur site. as for the background picture there..not sure how to do that. I guess you can also use div to position that or something...

i have kinda tried that. but it still runs together. i cant figure out how to get a smaller entry box. maybe that is what i mean. or do you have a better way to figure it out? and i dont want the stuff at the bottom to be in the ivory background. just the entries

well if you want to adjust the width of your blog entry this might help

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br />table.blogbody {<br />/* this edits the other the place where the  blog is */<br />width:400px;}<br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Just adjust the width there and put it in your css style sheet. You might already have that in your skin but just incase you don't then put that in and adjust the numbers. Using Divs and stuff does take a lot of time so be patient with it
