Having trouble with a myspace layout. Need help!

[Normaway]

Hello to all of you,

I hope you can help with a problem I am having on my new myspace music page.

I got a free layout that I like very much from freecodesource.com. Everything works fine except for when I try to submit upcoming shows. For example, I submitted the following:

Jul 14, 2009 8:00 PM - Normaway Inn, Livingroom
Margaree Valley Nova Scotia B0E 2C0
CA
Cost:N/A
Description:Melody and Derrick Cameron Cape Breton fiddle and guitar.


But, on the site, it only lists:

7 Jul 2009 20:00 Nova Scotia


I think part of the problem is that some of the text is not showing through the dark green boxes. Is there a way I can change all the text in the upcoming shows box to white? I would really like to stick with the green boxes and the white print. Green and white are in all our brochures so, it seems appropriate. I have changed the text colour to white every place that I can think of but, I must be missing something somewhere.

I would very much appreciate any help you can give me.

Here is the code I got for the layout:


<style>

In all honesty those layouts REALLY have a negative impact.

In myspace you can use CSS and HTML to make your myspace page. To make your text white you can add either <font color="white">Jul 14, 2009 8:00 PM - Normaway Inn, Livingroom<br /> Margaree Valley Nova Scotia B0E 2C0<br />CA<br />Cost:N/A<br />Description:Melody and Derrick Cameron Cape Breton fiddle and guitar. Or you can google how to do it in CSS.

You can do this inline:

<p style="color:white;">BLAH BLAH</p>

Using a class:

<p class="showtimes">BLAH BLAH</p>

and then you would need to append your stylesheet above with:

.showtimes{color:white;}

or by using the stylesheet above in some I don't care to understand.

Really the choices are limitless--not really they're pretty limited in the grand scheme of things, but you do HAVE choices here :-)

Argh, myspace layout generators suck so bad...

Time needed to learn how to code your myspace; between 1 and 5 evenings on w3schools in the HTML and CSS tutes (depending on your current computer-savvyness)...

Anyway, i and most people prefer a simple layout(e.g. click the link in my sig. Though i don't like the about me section as of yet)... If you like the same sort of nocked down simplicity i can throw you out a basic template to code around, but that requires you learn HTML+CSS.

Cheers,
Jamey
