Wow Im a newbie again lol. I've never been to sure how to do this (and please do not post a tutorial at lissaexplains because I tried understanding but I couldnt). So if you go here: http://www.hilary-duff.net/main.php and notice on the LEFT the little "Hilary-Duff.net, Calendar - August," etc stuff. Its kind of ontop of this little orange band thing? How do you do that? Lotsa sites have it! like http://www.distant-rapture.net/kristy/main.html has it too (Welcome Site stats etc) except its ontop of a blue band. Hope im making myself clear. Thanks all! :)

<div style="width: ##px; border: 1px solid #colour; background-color: #colour; text-align: center;">
Your text
</div>

Change: the width to what you want.
the border colour etc to what you want.
and the background colour.
That's the basics to make it, you cana also add font attributes in there if you wanted.

wow u rock. thanks! :)

what about the little border thingy around them?

border: 1px solid #colour;
That's where you change how you want the border to look (size/style/colour)

Just use two separate divs, one after the other

Header
</div>
<div style="stuff">
