As requested by AJX in Hacking this blog below is the template I actually use at manámaná without the text styles and inserted comments in the header and other jpeg images inserted. The original template was the Underwater for Blogger Beta by Hans Oosting from Beautiful Beta over a work by Ramani's Hackosphere, I've only modified styles from text, columns, borders, paddings, headers, etc., for adapting it visually to my desired blog style. If you use it please make a
reference note to Beautiful Beta .

Bear in mind that I'm a CSS learner and thus my designer approach has a try-claim to heavens-rectify style so I won't probably be able to answer your questions. Also consider that I've already inserted some widgets and hacks in my template that you don't have in your blog so it may well need some adaptation. And remember
always backup your style before trying this one!

Important: I've only inserted here the section <head>, I've not touched the rest of the template yet. If you want the complete template please download Underwater and substitute its <head> section with mine:

<head>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
