i'm at work but this is what i can help with so far

i find using the bookmarklet from this page http://www.inluminent.com/weblog/archives/2002/09/05/show_div_bookmarklet/ helps greatly in solving positioning issues without going through the trouble of adding borders to every element!

also in css an id will always override a class.

in your css:

#menu ul {
	margin-top: 0;
	padding-left: 0;
	margin-left: 0;
	list-style: none;	

	color: #B54141;
	/*text-indent: 1000em;*/

}

#menu a:link, #menu a:visited {
	color: black;
	border: none;
}

#menu ul ul {
	margin-left: 0;
	list-style: disc;
	list-style-position: inside;
	padding-left: 0.5em;
	text-indent: 0;
	color: black;
}

overrides

.emailauth a {
	color: #999966;
	text-decoration: none;
	font-weight:bold;
}

.emailauth a:link {
	color: #999966;
	text-decoration: none;
} 

i can't recall if you can combine id and class (#menu .emailauth a) but if that works try that. Because there is no '#menu img' defined your email picture is centered but nothing else is. commenting out some of the offending #menu styles would also help.

also the comments/trackback links are in a seperate div from 'posted by' and 2 divs do not like to be on the same line. merge them into a single div.

Even better:
1. get firefox.
2. get the web developer toolbar extension.

While you're at it, get the "IE View" extension, and easily check your work in M$IE before uploading.

Hi,

I was able to use Walter's advice above about looking in settings, regional to change the date format (I wanted F d, Y instead of m/d/y) but I cannot figure out what code in which file is controlling the gigantic SIZE of the date. And its color. Where is that code? Thanks!

I cannot figure out what code in which file is controlling the gigantic SIZE of the date. And its color. Where is that code? Thanks!

.../blogs/skins/unincorporated/style.css

#content h2 {
	font-size: 0.9em;
	border: 1px solid #ccc;
	color: #666;
	padding: 5px;
	margin-bottom: 0;
	margin-top: 0;
}

Mess around with this bit to change the date. Note that the date is in an H2 element within the DIV with an ID of "content" (#content h2.)

Hi,

I don't have: .../blogs/skins/unincorporated/style.css
because there is no 'unincorporated' directory. The only .css file I've been editing and that I can find that looks relevant is:

.../blogs/skins/custom/custom.css

and it doesn't have the code you mention. Instead, the code that seems to control the date size is just:

/* Styles for main area (left) */
h2 {
	margin-left: 8px;
}

I tried changing this to h3 instead of h2 and it screwed up several things, so I switched it back. Changing that one 2 to a 3 didn't seem to affect the date size, but it moved the date to the far left of the screen, with no margin, and made some of the headings in the right-hand column wrap in a goofy way.

Any other ideas on changing the size of the date/finding the responsible code?

In, your skin, change the call to $ItemList->date_if_changed()

Please don't post the same thing in multiple places. It makes discussions confusing and annoying for people who are searching these forums for answers to their questions. Thanks.
