Layout help. I'm new to all of this, where do I put stuff? Options

[invisible90675]

I started making this layout... I'll attach the picture. I need to know, how do I put the blog part and the left module on it. I really just need a code and I can figure out the rest, but I only know a little basic HTML so keep that in mind when you try to explain this all to me. Thanks so much for all of your help.

Yeah I looked at that... But it got a bit lost in the process... I can't seem to figure out how to separte my blog and my left module and put them in the boxes I made.

you need 2 div's to postion them. First you use this to postion your blog..

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><div id="blog" style="position:static; width:305; height:510; margin-top:260; margin-left:457; z-index:2; overflow: auto; border: 0px #000000 solid; overflow:auto; padding:10px; z-index:1; FILTER: chroma(color=white)" allowTransparency;"> <br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

and for your modules use this..

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><div id="particulars" style="position:static; width:300; height:120; margin-top:40; margin-left:460; z-index:2; overflow: auto; border: 0px #000000 solid; overflow:auto; padding:10px; z-index:1; FILTER: chroma(color=white)" allowTransparency;"> <br />INFORMATION GOES HERE!!!<br /></div><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

There now you edit the margins to postion it.

You guys are fantastic! THANKS SO MUCH!

But! Just to be annoying (no not really just to be annoying... but I am very greatful for your help) When you say "INFORMATION GOES HERE" what exactly do I put there? (I know it's the left module stuff... But i want to put my prof. pic and the about me stuff... and the subsciptions, posting calendar, blog rigs, etc.) I know this is stupid question and I'm sure if I thought abotu it long and hard enough i could figure it out... but I'd love the help.

Well for me i put a picture first, you need a image tag

CODE

<img src="URL OF IMAGE">

Then you might want to put a tittle like...

CODE

<center><b>ABOUT ME!</center></b>

Then use this to break your lines like bullets

CODE

<br>

Put that after each line if you want it like a bullet style. Any other questions feel free to pm me

Thanks! You're a big help! I should get to bed, but I'll def. start working on my new xanga layout tomorrow morning. If i need any more help I'll let you know.

Thanks for all the advice and codes. I owe you one.

Hey! maybe one day i'll create a really awesome layout and post it on this site. I drew the picture... maybe my artwork can inspire... something.
