blog colors??
Am I the only one seeing white (which is making me see red ;-) on the right and left sides of my blog??? I get the appropriate dark green using Safari on my Mac. Otherwise, IE on the Mac and Windows and Firefox on the Mac show wide, WHITE, panes on the right and left of my freakin' blog. I want them to be my favorite green.
I still have to do: update my kitties picture link to iphoto web site, change comments to descending and fix some of my templates dealing with commenting. But tonight is homework and I have a paper due next Wednesday, so...we'll see when I get to fiddling with it.

CSSEdit plugin for fire fox. It lets you see anyones CSS file in the side bar and modify it to see immediate changes in their web site. It is a great tool for modifying you own CSS when you are not sure which tag you need to change.
I also am seeing white.

I think this may be a problem with your index.html (template).

I get dark sidebars [Opera in Win2K]. Could be dark green, could be black. Could be due to the fact I'm color defective or that I only use my laptop screen, no monitor.

Are you trying to get it to look something like this?

thanks, folks. yes, kris, that's what I'm aiming for....I haven't checked out my index.html file yet.

If that is what it is, it is your style sheet. I think you should remove your .sidetitle, you don't need it. And, make sure that the order of the items are in the same order as the original. Order matters as some inherit attributes from others. If you get stuck (or just want it), I can mail you the one for the test.
