  Hey guys, I am having some trouble with my CSS once updating from PressRow to Pilcrow (something I didn’t even want to do really.) I have limited CSS experience and needed loads of help last year to sort it on PressRow in the first place!

  My current problems include:

  1. The title of the blog is hidden on the main page but reappears on any posts.
  2. The date posted is at the side rather than above post headings, making them push over to the right
  3. Post headings dissapear once a post is expanded from main page.
  4. Solid black lines above/below the header image have reappeared.
  5. Headline font is too big (although I have fixed the font for my site back to Ariel and a size I am happy with).
  6. Footer looks AWFUL. Any way to make it just text on white like it used to be? Otherwise I shall have to remove it altogether…
  7. I have gotten ride of tags and catagories underneath posts again, but not sure if my CSS is tidy like it should be.

  Here is what I have so far:

  h1 {
  display:none;
  }

  #nav {
  width:100%;
  border-top:0 solid #222;
  border-bottom:0 solid #222;
  float:left;
  }

  #pic {
  width:770px;
  height:200px;
  border-bottom:0 solid #222;
  }

  #footer {
  width:770px;
  padding-top:8px;
  border-top:4px solid #222;
  font-size:10px;
  text-transform:uppercase;
  letter-spacing:.3em;
  float:left;
  clear:both;
  }

  body {
  background:#fff;
  color:#444;
  font:90% Arial, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif;
  text-align:center;
  }

  h2 {
  font-size:1.8em;
  }

  p.tagged {
  display:none;
  }

  a:visited {
  color:#1C9BDC;
  }

  .post h2 a:visited {
  color:#000000;
  }

  Any help would be invaluable, my site is a mess at the moment! :-(

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Also, although the exact same amount of words fits on a line now, the text looks far too condensed. Is it perhaps that the lines themselves are too close together?!

  Sorted it all out through trial and error over two hours, ah well at least it is sorted now!
