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 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.
