Ah, yes, I've finally asked for help. I wasn't sure which forum to put this in, so feel free to move it if need be.

I've been using blogger for quite a while now, and I want to make my own layout. Nothing fancy, just a simple layout like:

Large picture in the top center, one line of text under that picture, wide column on the right under that heading(for entries), narrow column on the left(for links and stuff).

But I dont quite understand CSS..I have tried learning it from LEIA, but I am still confused. Can someone help me make a simple layout like that. I would provide a link to my blog...but I dont think it is apropriate for kids, as some of the language is not very nice(i get angry when i blog lol).

Sorry for the double post...I couldn't edit due to the 5 minute rule. It doesn't have to be a fully finished...just the basic codes, I can add the pics and all the details later....

EDIT: Okay, that didn't work. But I'll start it right now. XD

See how this works for you... this centres everything in the page.
<html>
<head>
<title> blah </title>
<style type="text/css">

body {
text-align:center;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

#bar {
width: 620px;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 15px;
text-align: left;
}

#headimg {
margin: auto;
}

#main {
width: 620px;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 15px;
text-align: left;
}

#left {
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
margin: 0;
float: left;
}

#right {
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
float: right;
}

</style>
</head>
<body>

<img src="image.jpg" id="headimg">

<div id="bar">
text
</div>

<div id="main">
<div id="left">
links
</div>

<div id="right">
