Your table is lacking the <table> open and close tags.
Can I suggest you look at the link above ? All the code and css needed is supplied and it makes issues such as spacing much easier to deal with.

I figured it was something simple like that — thanks so much.

fixed. however the vertical whitespace between my navbar text and the horizontal rules expanded a tiny bit — i figure that’s just a function of drawing the table? I can live with it in any case — thanks again.

I’m off to play with the Listamatic CSS suggestions you sent — see what that can do for me – obviously I’m no CSS expert.
listamatic is a fantastic place for all things lists – and if you have any problems at all, or want to alter anything, just post here 🙂

very cool — got it looking even better w CSS from that link!
here’s another minor style issue I’m trying to resolve:
The overall width of my blog is set using width=”95%” , and the placement of the menu sidebar is set using CSS as follows:
#menu {
background: #fff;
padding: 10px 0 10px 10px;
position: absolute;
right: 30px;
top: 130px;
width: 11em;
}
when I resize the blog window width, I see the credit/footer bar peeking out the right side of the menu sometimes — most notably when I make the window fairly narrow.
Obviously once I make enough posts to get the credit line below the bottom of the menu, this ceases to be a problem. but still, i’m a bit of a perfectionist… 🙂
This is actually a problem with the page structure.
Try this:
in the theme file, enclose the credit line in a footer div
<div id="footer">
<p class="credit.....
</div>
then in your css, have
#footer {
clear:both;
}
and we’ll see if that works.
