chic and stylish

welcome one and all to my fabulous blog...which just received its new makeover yesterday!

its really amazing how complicated changing the background and adding a banner can be...especially since i have nadda clue about html or css or whatever the crap is required to change formats painlessly. anyway, it sadly took me all day, but yay! look how beautiful it is now. i designed the background myself in photoshop...which was pretty easy. the picture is of me in my dorm last year...i thought it might go with the theme. i used the cutout filter for the picture (if you don't understand, no worries), but i'm not sure if i'm a fan or not. anyone who knows anything about design (or has an opinion about design) have any thought/suggestions/feelings about it?

by all means, comment away.

Heya babe, replacing the "page structure" section with the following makes it work in Firefox. It should work in IE as well since I didn't use any buggy constructs, but I can't test it in IE. This is the full contents of the page strucutre section. I took the liberty of removing the last rule. It doesn't show up in IE, but makes your design look a bit sloppy in firefox.

#content {
background:url("http://photos1.blogger.com/img/188/1647/1024/college%20life.jpg") no-repeat 180px 50px;
width:850px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0px 0;
text-align:left;
}
#main {
position: absolute;
top: 400px;
width:425px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 300px;;
font-size:85%;

I don't know what the code (above) does, but I'm viewing the site in Firefox and the text doesn't show up until half-way down the page. Good luck with the re-design.

i have a feeling that the anonymous comments #5-7 are spamish. correct me if i'm wrong, you lovely people who left those, but they seem like ads...i'm not getting married anytime soon, i don't need a loan, and i don't live anywhere near the uk or va. if this happens to be spam on the comment section of my blog, what is the world coming to?
