Hello...

Well I have customized my template but the search box is covering up my text when shown on my page. But when I edit it, it doesn't show that. I even had to use positioning to try to get back to original pre-customizing condition. Here is my script:

<?php /* Don't remove this line, it calls the b2 function files ! */ $blog=1; include ("blog.header.php"); ?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="http://ladynole05.spoken-for.org/style1.css" TYPE="text/css">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />

</html>

Also, my page is http://ladynole05.spoken-for.org . This is where you can see that the search area is on the side and over some of my blog. Thanks!

Your code is invalid:p

I guess it's a css problem, since you have several block items inside that positioned div. But try re-routing the issue, by giving it a higher z-index. Or place it relatively within the same index.

I don't understand what you are trying to say....Plus, I checked the Validator thing before posting my problem and I really got confused. Could you possibly show where in the code to make changes or something?
