  I tried doing that, but it creates that huge white blob, and for the second site, I couldn't find the body tag to put in that code. Check my site and source again:

http://duchovnysfanatik.blogspot.com

email me the new source html at duchovnysfanatik7@yahoo.com

Thanks so much in advance!!

  All right, I viewed the source code for duchovnysfanatik.blogspot, played around with it, and was able to make the 'white blog' go away. I'm at work right now, though, so I'm only able to test it in IE5 at the moment. I'll check again when I get home to see if it's behaving itself in IE6 and NS.

Follow these steps to get the same outcome I got:

1. At the top of your stylesheet, you've got the BODY tag defined for your scrollbars. Add this line to that section:

background-color:#000000;

Make sure you leave in the closing curly bracket, and make sure that it appears AFTER that line you've just added! This is the bracket I'm talking about: }

2. The next section in your stylesheet has a div id called bannerblocker. You can delete that entire id, you won't be needing it.

This is the section, in case you're not sure:

#bannerblocker
position: absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
width:100%;
height:100px;
background-color: #000000


3. Scroll down to the closing head tag. You've got two closing head tags and you only need one.

Delete the first closing head tag "/HEAD".

IMPORTANT: Also delete that bannerblocker div that appears immediately after that /HEAD tag you just got rid of. The bannerblocker div looks like this (but with brackets instead of parenthesis, of course):

(div id="bannerblocker")(/div)


All right, follow those steps and your blog should look like its old self, and the noembed trick for getting rid of the navbar will work. Like I said earlier in this post, I'll double-check on this when I go home.

I also noticed that you wrote you 'couldn't find the body tag' for some second site. Here is a really easy trick for locating items very quickly in your code:

Make sure your blinking cursor is at the very beginning of your code, then hit Ctrl+F.

In the Find what box, type the word you're trying to locate. In your case, you'd type the word 'body'. Now click the Find Next button. That's it! The next occurring instance of the word 'body' in your code will appear highlighted. If you keep hitting the Find Next button, it'll just continue searching for the next instance of that same word.

I know you requested for the new source code to be e-mailed to you, but I can't since I'm at work right now. If you'd like for me to send you the entire template redone so that all you have to do is just paste the whole thing into your Blogger template, let me know and I'd be glad to do that for you.

Hope you've found this helpful. :)

  Oops! Forgot one more step.

In your opening body tag, get rid of the BGCOLOR=#000000. It's no longer necessary.

  Am working on putting it a new skin - problem is the navbar covers some wording on the background image... is there anyway I can just push the background image down by 40pixels? The noembed tag doesn't work for me, the lower half of the blog just disappears...
