Hi Ian. I don't know if I've missed something, but in your original
example:
<dl><dt>99.</dt><dd><a href="">Article title</a></dd>
<dt>100.</dt><dd><a href="">Article title</a> - <span
class="new">NEW</span></dd>
</dl>
and:
dt { float:left; }
dd { margin:4px 8px; }
The problem is in your margin for the dd's and nudging them out of line
with the dt's. Try "margin: 0 8px 4px 8px;" instead, or applying some
kind of combination of margins to the dt's (or first dt).
