UPDATED! - 9/9/10
AAaaa.. much better now. It's short and simple, but I think this method is really good for both beginners and more advanced artists!
Hope you guys like!
Feel free to comment with any question
Since the old version featured a different method, you can still find it here: img826.imageshack.us/img826/21…

(sorry for the late reply)
There's probably a gap in your lineart somewhere that's letting the selection leak out. Make sure to go over your lines again and cover up all the gaps like that.

For some reason,coloring that way doesn't work for me. In fact it won't even let me color on any layer but the background layer. What might I have done wrong?

press on the layer you want to color =3

Have you locked the transparency on your colouring layers? if you have, undo it. It doesn't let you colour on tranparent areas.
