Perhaps I should rename this category “Mindbendingly Boring Technical Details of a Blog/MT/HTML/CSS N00b.”

Honest, I’ve been on the Internet since 1994. Granted, much of that time was on AOL. And I freely admit that my technical expertise consists of my husband and the phrase “Honey? How do I…”

However, it’s better. I removed the border style attribute, which was messed up by MT’s insistence on adding break tags. There may still be a simple solution to getting it to display in a box.

This makes day 2 or 3 that I’ve been banging the rocks together (and on my head). I’ve looked at a LOT of different ways to do this. I can’t look at any more.

This is the CSS for it – note, it’s not .blockquote but just “blockquote” in the style sheet, because I’m using an HTML tag as the name of the style element.

Okay, so I figure out how to get blockquotes styled with David’s help.

Now I need to figure out how to get a favicon working.

But that’s for tomorrow. This is a test post, because something else isn’t working (what now?)
