Well, I went to the MT movabletype.org : Support Forum rather a lot, reeely. And I went to a number of helpful webpages, like ***Dave and so on. And I got the most annoying thing fixed, which was the top line of the border enclosing the blog entries disappearing. But the solid line that appears under the topmost date always disappears on first loading, and reappears after a scrolling refresh. And you know what? That’s… okay.
Just let it go, Louie, let it go.
I added line-height yadda yadda according to Project Whiteguy, I went into the comments listing template following a suggestion from an MT post, and then I tinkered around with padding and margins.
And nothing worked. And that’s… okay.
