Help with custom theme I'm splicing some css with an existing theme

I'm hoping someone might be able help me out with my CSS code. In short, I am trying to match my posterous blog as closely as possible to my existing site. This will mean the user experience is fairly close to what already exists and I get the benefit of the existing links in my header steering traffic back to my site. I've altered the Ginza template to get to where I am so far.

So my original news page is: www.ecorecruitment.com.au/news.html

My Posterous site is: ecorecruitment.posterous.com

I've come close to getting the header the same but it's aligned left and I'm missing the border lines down each side.
If I was being picky I'd love to get the hovering 'Posterous' sign out of the header and further into the body too.

I've now spent way too long on this so any help would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers,
Jason
PS I originally tried this with the 'Clean Sheet' template but it was a disaster!

You're going to want to add "margin:0 auto" to the header table to center your banner. Like this: http://screenshots.w...3758876_4Kb.png

The lines could be done, but are a little more involved, since the page structure is a little different. I can probably help you out though: http://mods.themes.watilo.com

Cory I can seriously not thank you enough. After 12 hours of going around in circles, seeing that banner move to the centre of the page was....glorious!
Thanks mate!
