A Work in Progress

I am trying to work out the kinks in this new template/background/css I have going. I've done very basic, basic, basic, kindergartener css before (or maybe preschool, I don't know anymore). What I'm working on now is much more involved, obviously, since my posts are way out in left field--literally. So, bear with me. I know you probably can't read half the stuff on there right now, but don't despair! I made the header entirely on my own! So it makes sense that I should be able to do the body...of course so far I've failed to budge them pixel, so perhaps you should despair. For now though, let's keep our chins up.

...and offer useful advice.
