Thank you! That worked.

I did adjust the border radius, too, incidentally. When I substituted the new code that eliminated the padding and margins, the first line of the text was a little “off” colorwise from the rest, but setting the border radius to 0 px solved that. (I probably could have removed that line entirely, but I may want to put a radius back in someday…)

I would appreciate an example – all my attempts at changing it screw things up horribly and don’t turn out how I thought they would.

I hadn’t thought about that – I don’t want to drive up the calls (I think there’s plenty already1) needed to load the page. We can eliminate the calls, and have a “read more” type of link that will link to the category page listing all the posts. If that’s done, I’d like to be able to custom edit text within the box as a teaser – doesn’t have to be something queried but can be hardcoded into the code itself.

Here you are – the portion of the code that creates the current view, and the stylesheet portion that relates to that code.

Thanks, Esmi.

But, that doesn’t seem to work for me. I installed WP in a new folder, and used a copy of the same wp-config file from the first WP site, and it keeps self-identifying as that first site, not letting me log into the new one with the new user/password. In fact, it wants to log me into the old site.

Am I missing something?

I reverted back to 2.7.1 and now my categories are displaying correctly.

No idea why it wouldn’t work with 2.8, but I shouldn’t have to uninstall my plugins and etc., especially when they are essentially vital to the operation and design of my site as is. Just sayin’.

Thank you very much, Dave! That worked beautifully!

Seriously? No one has an answer to this?
