HOORAH!!!!!!
i owe it all to IBM Guy, resident genious, who oh so kindly explained to me the dunce that i am, and un-did my "oh i can figure it out on my own" mess that i got myself into!
3 cheers for IBM GUY...hip hip, hurrayyyy...hip hip, hurrayyyy...hip hip...
ok. i think we all get the point.
so. outside of the colors mega not going together (yellow and green dots are gunna hafta go, no?!) and the image being SMASHED up at the top (yeah, i probably did something wrong there...) its kinda what i was going for....
...... kinda.
(ok. i already know what i'm gunna do to change it... this could be a nightmare in the making design-wise...)
ANYWAY. i'm just very excited over here... and i just had to give a great big shout out to my man IBM GUY...

You could try this too:Add the following lines to your page structure portion of your page:#header { background: url("http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2679/1251/1600/banner.7.png") no-repeat bottom center #fff; }#header { padding: 0; margin: 0 auto; height: 171px; width: 100%; background-color: #fff; }#headerimg { margin: 0; height: 171px; width: 100%; }The put the following portion of code right after . I had to put underscores to make the code show up correctly in the comments. Remove where they appear: " title="">This should also make the image linkable back to your title page.

I took a look at your source, and you can do the following to the content portion of your source. Add the same lines above as in my previous post, but with the following modification:Change #header to #kheader so it doesn't conflict with the existing #header definition.#kheader {background: url("http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2679/1251/1600/banner.7.png") no-repeat bottom center #fff;}#kheader {padding: 0;margin: 0 auto;height: 171px;width: 100%;background-color: #fff;}You can still add the following line#headerimg {margin: 0;height: 171px;width: 100%;}since #headerimg doesn't conflict with anything. Also add the following. It's the same as in my above comment but with "kheader" as the id instead of "header"" title="">Again remove the underscores. I think that should help at least with the banner showing up.

Oooooh. Recent graduate into the class known as marathoner, and now a budding web page designer. What will she attempt next.Hmmm, possibly a triathlon with Running Pol? Well, if he doesn't drown himself before winter is up.Nice redesign. The nice thing is that you can play with the site, change it around, etc.
