Hi, I don't seem able to solve this very simple position problem for
the comment area.
First I wasn't sure whether I should use OL or UL or P or DT for the
comment (my first question), after looking at some blogs I decided to
go with OL (with a question mark hanging in my head),

On your pages at http://startrekcafe.bravehost.com there is a problem,
from a usability/accessibility viewpoint, with the hover background colour
on your standard links, i.e. across the top (Sbar) and bottom (footer).
The hover background in styles.css is mid-green. This is fine for
I think adding a css class that displays an icon that quite obviously
denotes that the link will open a new window has been banded around for
awhile now. I know that I have used it in the past, but must admit on this

Hi Tee,
The indentation appears to be coming from

I find that surprising. I am sure you are right, however, that it is all
