Thanks and sure. I assume that you're designing for Firefox, in which case the code is very simple. For each class that you want to have partially transparent, simply add the attribute {opacity: X}; to the CSS. The hard part is finding out the class names if you're using a pre-existing style (hint: look at the source code of your current journal).
Opacity (X) is a property which can range from 0.0 to 1.0, with 1.0 being totally opaque and 0.0 being totally transparent. My journal is set to opacity:0.77 I think. Fixing it for IE involves the use of filter code, which is a lot harder to explain. Because of W3C specs regarding inheritance, any images you post within the boxes will also become partly transparent. I haven't been able to fix this in FF, but it annoys me.

Will you be doing a late something for yours in December? Most of us missed it, being in other states and countries and things.
