I like the 2 columns--it feels more open. I was going to say you could do the same layout with the blue, but you'd have to change the font colors quite a bit.

Nice. On this computer the right links column isn't wrapping properly, it appears as a large block instead of column, center screen where the post should be, with your name, date and time of posting appering directly underneath.
The left column is where I imagine it is supposed to be, under the sweet image of the guy with uncle sam's hand over his kisser (where's that from?)
safari 1.0.3. I'll check from a couple of other computers later.

dont know. either i messed up a tag up top or its the bloglines code. there were two options for that, "javascript" or "php," and i chose the former. maybe the webmaster can enlighten us.

maybe somebody could explain this too. im just trying to "bold" my folder titles for my bloglines blogroll. this is the help info.

using CSS, you can customize the appearance of your blogroll. The blogroll has two

tags, which let you change the appearance of folder titles and subscriptions. The entire blogroll is enclosed with a

tag that has a class='blogrollmain' attribute. In addition, folders have

tags with a class='blogrollfolder' attribute.

By customizing the layout using these tags, you can tailor the look of your blogroll to match your website.

Unfortunately I am completely lost with CSS.

I like it.

Like Steve said, I see a lot of the links at the top of the main column (the 'mixmedia', 'nets','news', etc.. links). But I'm thinking that is where Dave meant them to be since they are in the top_text box on [editpage]. If you want them someone else we can make that happen, but it is displaying correctly for me for how it is setup (standard 2 column page with links on left and an option for keeping some stuff stuck at the top of the posting column.)

As for the CSS:

The class names are how you refer to the different divs (or, in other words, they have named the various divs so that you can use those names in the style sheet.) on [editpage] in the style sheet text box you need to add lines for

div.blogrollmain and/or div.blogrollfolder

So to bold the names of the folder titles add:

div.blogrollfolder {font-weight:bold;}

As for the javascript vs. PHP it really doesn't matter. The operational difference here is that you can deploy the javascript solution without any help from me, but I'd have to bake the PHP into the scripts here. Would be super easy to do (just drop it in) but it wouldn't really be any better than the javascript so I don't see the point.

(Well, I guess the PHP is better in the case where someone has their javascript turned off. But I don't think many people turn javascript off these days as a) tons of sites rely on it so you'd break things all over the place, and b) the reason we all used to turn javascript off - to cut down on pop up windows - isn't necessary any more since all good browsers have a separate way to block pop up windows without completely disabling javascript.)
