I spent the past two days looking through the source codes of various blogs to see how they are coded. All the blogs I've seen mostly consisted of many boxes and had those neat little scroll bars. At first I thought these were done using tables, but thanks to Akira, I learnt that they were, in fact, DIV elements.
After many hours of experimentation, I managed to modify the default codes into this current three-box format. I am most pleased indeed.
How I wished I was this motivated when it comes to JAVA programming.
