Selling My Soul

I've been selling my soul and whoring myself for help. I even heard there was a little competition looking for help on another corner.

I've got the format that I want, and the background. I'm using a practice banner (won't be using the real banner until unveiling) to hold it's spot. I've got Comment Pop Ups and roll down, Trackbacks are popping up and listing on the post, the Remember Me is working, and a few other things. I'm proud of what I've done so far 'cause I'm a real dope!

But what I am really struggling with is the following:

• Moving the Banner and the left and right side bars down away from the top of the page. Also seperating the banner and where the posts start. I want some space in there and can't figure out how. And for the sidebars to line up with the top of the post, not the banner.

• For the sidebars, I'm wanting white boxes with rounded corners, kind of like at Madfish Willie's.

I cannot find fixes for these anywhere. I've been on Munuviana, CSS sites, Moveable Type sites and been viewing page sources on any and all Munu blogs.

So now I'm getting desperate. Especially since I've been getting a lot of 404 errors when surfing blogs in Blogger. So if anyone knows how to talk to a semi-dummy about this stuff, I promise, I'm not vice!
