I was looking through all of the skins when I realized they all looked sub-par. But then I tried it in Internet Explorer. They look 10x better because they're aligned just right. Is there a way to fix this in Firefox?

A lot of the xanga layouts were designed for Internet Explorer.
So if you use Firefox to view the layouts, most of them look misaligned.

..... It's kinda complicated to make it 'acessable' in both browsers, because you don't have acess to the full source of Xanga. Blogger is better for that kind of thing.
However, the most Firefox-friendly layouts are the ones without tiny, boxed in, blog areas. They translate better over browsers. Ones that have no scrolling at all are even better, because they translate almost perfectly.
Also, if you re-code the layout in Firefox, then make it optimized for IE, there's not as much change because you're going from a strict browser to a leniant one. -shrug-

I don't know the solution to how she did it, but I'd which I knew.

I usually just code my layouts in Firefox [my main browser] and view them in IE and they're usually aligned correctly [if my layout has a blog].
