sidebar height; paragraph breaks

    I’ve managed to customize the default template to an extent. See http://mp-dulcimer.com/blog/.

    However, there are two things I don’t know how to fix.

    One is that in Firefox the sidebar box is higher than the content box, but in IE they are even.

    The other is that my entries have lost paragraph breaks — there’s a new line, but not a space, between paragraphs.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Have I asked something completely obvious, or have I stumped y’all? Or have I not given enough information? Help, please, and thanks in advance.

    Ok, here’s what I found….
    To get the two section to line up, change the #content margins from
    margin: 15px 15px 0px 15px;
    to
    margin: 0px 15px 0px 15px;

    That will fix that mis match

    Next the paragraph breaks. Very first thing in the CSS is to set the margin of all elements to 0. This included the margins between paragraphs. Adding this restores it:
    .entry p{margin-bottom: 10px;}
    Feel free to change 10px to what ever size you want.

    Lastly, I saw something odd…
    html>body .entry ul {
    margin-left: 0px;
    padding: 0 0 0 30px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    }
    What is the left padding supposed to be? 30px or 10px? I know which one wins out, but it’s very redundant.

    Thank you!

    I copied that last thing right out of the default template, so it’s not my fault! I wonder why it’s like that. I’ll try both and see which I like better.
