Oh yes, much better. Don't you feel proud?

And by the way, thereÃ¢â¬â¢s nothing wrong with using a few cheeky extra tags here and there.

There are folk who would vehemently disagree with that! I'm not one of them, mind.

In any case, adding a `` at the bottom did no good, and I've now tried every imaginable combination of padding and margins to no avail. I'll try wrapping the stuff at the bottom in an extra div.

Update, a little while later: fixed with the search box below. I could've used a `, or anything withclear:both` set in the CSS, but I quite like making the search more obvious anyway. I suspect there's either something horribly wrong in my (validated) CSS, or a bug in Safari to do with floating elements. Either way, the page looks better now!

Yep, I'm using Safari 1.3.1.

Hmmn. No matter where I apply padding and/or margins - body, the containing div, the div with all the stuff at the bottom in it - Safari still bumps against the bottom of the browser window. The XHTML validates, too, so I'm a bit stumped. Perhaps a cheeky little `` tag will fix it.

Looking good

Cheers! The orange links may yet make a return, it's just that the site has been greyscale for so long, they burned my eyes. And I'm working on the lack of padding at the bottom of the page - it's there in the stylesheet, and Firefox renders it properly, but Safari doesn't seem to want to. (And possibly other browsers too - what are you using MacDara?)

Looking good. Though I do have to say, I liked the orange links you were experimenting with, and you could do with some padding at the bottom of the page beneath the posts and categories lists.
