Comment on Journal CSS Resources by zilla774
Are you talking about block display type?
If you mean to have it so it would be like:
_______
| border |
| | Text ||
| |Text_||
|______|
Like that?
That is done by the "display" property. Value can either be Inline, or Block. Block is the thing shown above. Inline is just part of the text.

Uhm... I have the same question as Traconian but I don't think I understood that explenation. Could you repeat it for me please? I was looking for a posibility to create a lighter textfield in the middle of the journal with the "normal" bg all around it. Like

Tnx. Hm... I just tried around a bit more... Everything works fine except that there is no border around the part I wanted a border around... I toyed around with my first journal ever. No one's going to see that ever again anyway. 
I tried to putt the third paragraph into a box that is clearly visible on the bg but the only thing I get is that this part of the text is slightly farther on the inside and there is a broader part with no text on the upper and lower part (darn, it's hard to write such things in a foreign language! °A° Buuuut, I think it works. ^^ )
I'll leave it like that for a moment so maybe you can take a look to show you what I ment in the stuff I just wrote... Not pretty clear, what I typed here... Sry. Sorry to bother you so much with it. I hope it's not too much trouble.
Here's the journal: [link]

Well, there are 3 forms of borders, really. Theres the padding, the border, and the margin. And if you put a border around an INLINE thing, then it should go around only the text within the <div> tag, I'm pretty sure. I must experiment with that sometime tomorrow in Web Design. Well, good luck!
Nope, not working. The only thing I get that way is that it's like the third paragraph in the journal, just a bit farther on the inside and with that absolutely not what I was trying to do... :/
Well, sometimes stuff can be figured out by playing around. But if you're still stumped, I recommened [link]
Well, once again, good luck mate!

Thank you and sorry that I bothered you with my non-knowledge. ^^'''' I tend to be too curious for my own good. Thank you very much for your patience! And all the info of course. *nod*
