Hi. Does anyone know how I can get the entry table part way down like on here - http://www.livejournal.com/~sw___itchblade/? Also, how to get a box like that round the comments links and how to make the links on the page highlighted like that? Please help... thanks.

Well, you have to change your style to Generator in the modify section of livejournal.com to have those entry boxes. I don't know how she got the solid black line around the part where her comments are, but for her links, she used a background color, which you can do like this:

A:link,{color:#;
text-decoration:none;
background-color:#}

There are a lot more overrides that you can do, just look in the FAQ section of the Livejournal site.

Edit: to get the solid black line around the comments part, you use this in the overrides box on the modify page:

.comments {
margin: 4px;
padding: 3px;
height: 10px;
font-family: tahoma;
font-size: 7pt;
line-height: 8pt;
color: #000000;
background-color: white;
background-image: url();
border: 1px solid black;

Of course, you can change around the pixel widths, heights, the color, and font, ect.

Thankyou so much. Do you know how I can get the entry table to start of half way down the page instead of at the very top?

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
margin-top: 200px !important;
}
-->
</style>

Thankyou so much too.

Oops... I forgot... does anyone know how make the border solid and doubled like on http://www.livejournal.com/users/pinupsandguns/. I know how to do it solid, dotted and dashed, I'm just not sure about doubled. I've tried putting "doubled" in the place where "dashed" usually goes, but tht didn't work.

table { width: 45%; margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 50%; border: 5px double #FFCC66;}

I do believe that does it. I don't know if you already have a table thing or not, but if you do, just put border: blah blah in to that. If not, then just copy and paste all of it. :D
