Yes I know it’s broken
and I should have stopped when I was tired but there you go. So here’s what I need to fix pronto:
< li > in the sidebarPosts aren’t displaying any dates. Goodness knows what I did there.
- Thanks Jann.The text “Posted by Daisy at 10:52 PM in” is still a funny grey
- thanks Em.There’s a purple-ish border showing around the banner in IE6.
Anything else broken?
In the meantime, a quick link: She blocked me by Bob Ricci.

1. Looks ok to me - is it the line spacing you don’t care for? If so, it’s the line-height: 50% in “.sidebar li” that’s doing this.
2. There’s an empty <a href= … link at the top of each post so I assume that the post date should appear there? Now that I mention it, there are a couple of nested <DIV>s at the top of the page (div id=”banner-img” and div class=”img-link”) that are empty too.
3. It’ll be the “.content p.posted” CSS where color is set to #999999 (or “funny grey” to give it its proper name).
4. That’s a bit of an oddity. I can see that .content has a border assigned, but not #banner. Sorry.

Oops - should have said “line-height:150%” - I’ve got a stiff “1″ on my keyboard.
Hang on, that sounds rude …

1. No I’m okay with the 150% line spacing for accessibility reasons, it’s those damn bullets I’m trying to get rid of. I want to just have the blogroll items have a bullet (to be a fancy schmancy arrow gif)
2. Will check that now.
3. Done! Ta muchly.
4. ‘Tis a bit odd eh? Will dig a bit deeper.
Comment #2 - saucy!
Thanks Em.

Set the border to zero for your banner image and set list-style to none for the nav?

You need to use style=”border:0″ instead of border=”0″ - the latter is ‘old skool’ HTML and doesn’t work in XHTML.
You might also want to put the width and height numbers in quote marks, ie width=”700″ height=”173″ , since that’s the proper way to do it :)

Whatever you’ve done, Daisy, this latest version looks great* on my PDA!
* apart from the red-on-black sidebar

Hmm. Have you tried playing with the ‘img’ and ‘a’ selectors in your stylesheet? Like
#banner a img {border:0}
or somesuch? That *should* tell IE not to put a border around images that are links. Um, if all else fails.
You know that there’s no banner on the individual post pages, right?
Just being ever so helpful. ;-)

Thanks chaps/chapettes, will try these tonight. Em, not sure about the red on black version on your PDA - whereabouts is that?

The background colour doesn’t show in the sidebar on the PDA but content’s fine so I wouldn’t worry about it.
