I went to your link but could not find any instance of a red “X”. I’m using Firefox/Mac 1.5.0.4

I think a little padding might do the trick.

Throw this into your layout.css file to see the effect. Of course the colors are for testing.

div.entry {
background:red;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
div.entry li a {
background:blue;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

Have a link we could see to get a better idea?

I like the color scheme, very fresh. Three criticisms, 1) Sidebar seems to be a little cluttered, maybe this will all depend on the user (your navigation seems to be of low priority, being all the way at the bottom). 2) The ads really make it difficult for the reader. They take up all the priority space to where one has to visually wade through it all just to get to your content, this may also depend on the user. And 3) My own personal preference is for the footer to be at the bottom of the page (clearing all content). This helps to solidify all the blocks of content more cohesively. But of course that’s just my preference. All in all, the fresh color scheme really helps one to parse through the content pretty well (color schemes, I find, are the most difficult of design). Hope this helps.

Not sure but it sounds to me like the subdomain isn’t pointing to the folder you’ve specified… I think.

I’m a little confused so here are a couple of questions.

1. What theme are you using?
2. Are requiring the archive list only in the sidebar of every page or a whole page dedicated to the archives?

Seems pretty convoluted at this point. It might be a lot easier to just do a freash install and use the default theme.
