don't forget to put px after each value as well... so instead of using 100, you would use 100px

In your code

<div style="position:absolute; left:250; width:300; top:175; height:225; overflow:auto; scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-face-color: #000000; scrollbar-shadow-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FFFFFF text-align:center; clip:rect(auto);">

change the bold to 20 or any numeral that you want it to be. (it's how much space between the left side and your div)

Hope it helps :)

I tryed to do what you told me too ... but this is what i came up with and it still diesnt work ;\

GLOBAL_HEAD<=

<html>
<head>

<title>You made everything seem alright...</title>

<style type="text/css">

A:link
{ text-decoration: none; color:"#000000"; }
A:visited
{ text-decoration: none; color:"#000000"; }
A:hover
{ text-decoration:none; color:"#ffffff"; background-color:#000000; cursor:n-resize;
}

BODY,P,TD {font-family:arial; font-size:12px; cursor:n-resize; color:#000000; }

body
{ background-color:#ffffff;
background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v413/MiakaLookAlike/Layout%20Images/seemalright.jpg) ;
background-position:right top;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;

</style>
</head>

<body>
<div style="position:absolute; left:250px; width:300px; top:175px; height:225px; overflow:auto; scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-face-color: #000000; scrollbar-shadow-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FFFFFF text-align:center; clip:rect(auto);">

<=GLOBAL_HEAD

In this part of the code...
<div style="position:absolute; left:250px; width:300px;

Change the left: 250px; to a smaller number or just 0
<div style="position:absolute; left:0; width:300px;

I think you're going to have to find some kind of override to make it go over to the left, since it won't allow HTML tags.
You could try looking through here (http://www.blurty.com/users/customization) to see if you can find what you want, or see if livejournal overrides (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=howto) work... they might since blurty is basically the same thing
