Nice job, Chris. I think modifying a blog template is probably one of the best ways to get your feet wet with XHTML ande CSS because you learn why things do what they do and how to change it. From here, you can start taking what you've learned and applying it to new designs. ~john

Is there anyone interested in semantic web? I'd like to try to spread this topic in the forum I use to attend (http://forum.html.it), but I see that it doesn't interest a lot. I think that the principles of semantic web can help us understand much better the importance of clean and logical

You seem to have the following in your CSS: #header { background: url(http://...glencoe_crop.jpg)no-repeat top; (I snipped the URL to make it fit on one line for this msg...) I found that the problem is that there is no space between the ) and no-repeat. Odd that the CSS validator does validate

That was it! It's been driving me crazy as the validator wasn't picking up anything wrong. By adding the space that did resolve the problem. Chris On Fri, 04 Mar 2005 08:59:21 -0500, Erik Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You seem to have the following in your CSS: #header { background:

Hello Chris; Am a little tired, but you have one of the padding bugs in there, which one am not sure; Looking at your CSS though gives this for the element in question: #header div.time strong { background: #FFF; font-size: 0.8em; padding: 0 0.5em; border: 1px solid #000;; border-right: none; }
