I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jon, when you get a chance, can you have a look at the left-hand panel on css.net? The HTML is generated the way I think it should be, but the effect on the formatting has about a double indenting of the list elements and it lacks the former harmony.

That HTML parallels this, which mean you could easily apply this look or this one. I mean, assuming you have more time on your hands than sense.

Yeah, we're on the right track, but it needs some prettying.

I'll try work on it this weekend and see if I can come up with the desired css fix.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I did a t blockquote in buffistechnology and it didn't take.

Did it used to take? I've always used the quickedit.

I've always found it useful to use blockquote for quoting more than a couple of paragraphs here.

Art Crawl!!!

I've generally used quickedit and then closed the spaces up and used the br command in order to keep multi-paragraph quotes in multi-paragraphs.

It seems to be a browser interpretation issue. The blockquote tag is in the post, but I think that the p tags inside the blockquote override it somehow.

Board looks great and I'm looking forward to learning some CSS.

I saw the conversation earlier about the Home button and why it's at the bottom of the screen rather than above the posting box. I was wondering if it would be easy to add some blank space below it. It's difficult to use on the iPhone as the browser's back button is directly below it. If it's too much work, I'll just wait for the fix. Thanks!

Try

#footer {margin-bottom:1em;}

Increase 1em to something bigger, if that's not enough space.
