Custom theme error, left and right colums disappear

I'm trying to code a custom skin (not a very good one I admit, but I digress) but whenever I upload the theme.html file, it seems to work okay, except the left and right columns don't show up (though any data from the main center column is there, i haven't tried any of those center subcolumns yet).

I did that thing where you combine all the files to one html file (I saw it used on the 7dana-rose skin that I like and tried to do it with this).

Here is the code for the page:

Many thanks to anyone to can help! Sorry that the code is a bit messy. A cross between a WYSIWYG editor (nuuu don't laugh) and putting the HTML in that I need.

(Oh by the way, whenever I switch to a well made skin, including the 7dana-rose one, the left and right columns show up fine, so it's not that they're disabled or anything).

Re: Custom theme error, left and right colums disappear

I just tested that code and it worked for me on my local system, showed left and right blocks... it must be something you have above the body tag?

I just copy and pasted everything above body tag from default theme and it worked...

Re: Custom theme error, left and right colums disappear

I had to delete some old files and re-upload things, but I eventually got it working.
Thanks for your help! ^_^
