STEP 2: copy and paste this code into your website stats.

<style> a:hover { border: 3px solid #e0e0e0; } </style>

OPTIONAL: this is the replace words code. I didnt use it on this layout because some people just like it normal. You will have to go through and make it the way you want it, because I did not set it up for this particular layout. But here it is.copy and paste it into your website stats. Do NOT use this code unless you know what you are doing. It is also case sensitive.

<!-- Replace Text : Provided by Blogring.net --> <script type="text/javascript"> // // ©2003 EasterEgg, http://www.xanga.com/easteregg // Provided by http://www.Blogring.net function replaceWords() { // ***add the words or fragments you wish to replace below var oldWords = new Array( "Sites I Read", "Gender:", "Birthday:", "My Blogrings", "eprop", "comment" ); // *** add the replacing words or fragments below var newWords = new Array( "Dailies", "Sex:", "B-day:", "Blogrings", "cent", "dollar" ); allTableData = document.getElementsByTagName('td'); allTableHeaders = document.getElementsByTagName('th'); var collections = new Array(allTableData,allTableHeaders); //document.write.blogring.net for (var k = 0 ; k < collections.length ; ++k ) { for (var i = 0 ; i < collections[k].length ; ++i ) { if (collections[k][i].innerHTML.indexOf('TABLE') == -1) { for ( var n = 0 ; n < oldWords.length; ++n ) { var indx = collections[k][i].innerHTML.indexOf(oldWords[n]) while (indx != -1) { var replacement = ''; //document.write.blogring.net indx = collections[k][i].innerHTML.indexOf(oldWords[n]); replacement = collections[k][i].innerHTML.replace(oldWords[n], newWords[n]); collections[k][i].innerHTML = replacement; break; } } } } } } replaceWords(); </script> <!-- End Script : Provided by Blogring.net -->

EXTRAS:  this is an update box i made a while back to go along with this particular layout. heres what it looks like, and the codes' underneath it.
