to brighten up a image you need to use a designing program like photoshop and paint shop pro.. if you have those for photoshop you go to image>>adjustments>>brightnss/contrast and for paint shop pro i belive its adjustments>>brightness/contrast.. yea think its that.

here are the free trials if you don't already have it

photoshop- http://www.adobe.com

paint shop pro- http://www.jasc.com

just browsing through the code...

}
div.smalltext{
width: WIDTHpx; - think that would help when you put in an actual value
padding: 3px;
text-align: left;
}

Yea, It might biggrin.gif

Anyway, I made this



Niez_cho- The code didn't really work...

I would like the image to be centered so it dosent repeat, have the blog area as big as the empty space in the middle, and have another text box in the box I created to the right, where I can put my subscriptions and chatterbox.

Also, would someone mind explaining to me what each part of the code does? I know the image src and scrollbar, but thats about it. pinch.gif

Anybody?

What image do you want to center? The banner or background?

The tutorial on how to make a xanga skin should help you understand what some of the things are:

I've added comments.... And guessed where the aproxximate numbers would be for the div layers. ^_^ The comments explain what does what, and you can always ask specific questions later.
