Minor improvements

Today I fixed this news page so that it will view correctly in Mozilla. Michaelv.org is now in its third year of operation (being created on February 10, 2002) and I have stated this fact in the new logo at the top of every page.

What do you think? Hopefully it looks better than the old, darkened one. I'm also going to try to update this more frequently now.

Was it changed for the masses, or simply because I finally went and got Firefox? Either way, thanks Michael. ... and may it live to see many more years.

FireFox is awesome, by the way.

Hmm... the "n comments" link is shoved kind of into the news article above it. Just in case you were interested.

Can you be more specific? I can't seem to get the "n comments" to be inside the news box for Mozilla. In IE it's fine, but Mozilla doesn't like float: right.

http://distraction-mod.net/xathien/comments.jpg Specific enough? Is it SUPPOSED to be in the news box? It seems like it's supposed to be under it from where I am...

Heh. It's never been like that, at least not from my design perspective. If you could help me with the CSS, I'd appreciate it. I tried a variety of things to get the text right-aligned without Mozilla moving outside the box, but nothing worked.

If you remove the float: right; in the a.newscomment class and replace it with display: block; and text-align: right; it is in the box when viewed in Mozilla Firefox, although the border of the comment link goes all the way across the box. If you also replace the dotted border with a normal underline the comment links look fine in Firefox.

Well, to be honest, I'm not as magicianal at web design and stuff as you obviously are. I took only a sort of pittance learning of PHP before I gave up as I had nowhere to practice. Those PHP manuals were boring, too. :P So... sorry, can't help here, unless you want to spare a while teaching.
