The text entry box, and the instructions above it, and the "post message" button, should all be left-aligned in the middle column.
If we do this, the text entry box will have to be about 25% narrower, like the one on the edit-your-post page. Otherwise, folks with low-res monitors (640x480) will have to scroll right, which is a big usability no-no. Is a narrower text box an acceptable trade-off?

Is it possible to add the HTML that makes us able to do the pretty links to the lovely HTML instruction pop-up?
Done! Also added to the how-to page.

I've just noticed, when trying to make an HTML list come out as
A)
B)
C)
that I can't, because Jon B's set an override for all List Items in the style sheet to
list-style-type: disc
Removed!
God man, you're on fire!

Whatever happened with that issue of font sizes not being able to be overwritten by browser preference? I thought I read a post where that was resolved, but now I can't find it. Was I supposed to change something in the style sheet?
No -- not resolved. It's the pixels in the stylesheet.
Well, changing pixels to points (i.e. px to pt) does not work. I just tried it and all the text got HUGE (I'm using Mozilla). If anyone knows how to fix this, I'm all ears.
