The <div style=" "> and </div> are the opening and closing HTML tags for the scroll box.

background-color #000000; – This is the color of the inside of your box. You can make the background whatever color you want. Just remember that certain colors may make reading text an issue.
border-width:2px solid black; - This tells the browser how wide to make the boarder and what color it should be.
width:200px — This tells the browser to make the box 200 pixels wide. You can specify a different width based on your blog.
height:100px — This tells the browser to make the box 100 pixels tall. Again you can specify a different height based on your blog.
overflow:auto - sets the overflow value.
