hi there,
So I finally managed to get my site up and running (im quite new to web design and such) and am slowly working my way though and refining things. When I hold the cursor over the image on my photoblog, there is a rectangle before the title "[] beach photo" for example. (but the rectangle is filled in black. You can see it on my site at www.theloraine.net) I cant figure out how to get rid of this rectangle, or what it is? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I see that you are quite new to HTML, the basics...

1) <head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" />
<title>stark.</title>
<link href="templates/markmark/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<html>
<head>
<title>Underline Links</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-color: #666666;
background-image: url(templates/gradient.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
-->
</style>
</head>

head only time !!!

2) what did you do with the codepage-meta?

<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" />
it can't work this way, IT MUST BE LIKE THIS:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
otherwise you cannot get any codepage-information at all

3) I strongly advise you to use one of the templates which are included in the package and then start again,

you open <div>s, without any content, and close them twice, why????

please, do us a favor, if you are new to that, read some basics on the structure of HTML and CSS or just use a valid template, but leave the structure of HTML intact

good luck

im learning...slowly. Ive been reading "dreamweaver 2004 in easy steps" buy I obviously have been missing some steps... thanks for the help, its certainly much appreciated. the black box seems to show up just in firefox and not in IE.

As a general rule, if something works in firefox but is broken in IE, its IE's fault.
