have you tried to fiddle around with the positioning of your div code for your blog?

[Skyzaam]

yeah i did, all it did was move the nav around

[Pulchritude]

just wondering why do you have 3 div's? when you only wanting to control the navigation and blogs.. but if you are using a div for your banner you should put that before your image tag code.. but it should work if you keep playing with your div..

[Skyzaam]

okay, i finally figured it out. i had to move the code for the nav so that it comes right after the one for my pic. after that, playing around with the div numbers did the rest.
