Via the Dreamhost panel, this should take about 10 seconds.

I tweaked it, but the way it's applied makes some stuff funky. When I upgrade to WP 2.0, my plan is to build a very stripped-down theme which is highly accessible. But piling more effort on this dungheap ain't worth it. That’s part of the theme I installed. I tweaked it, but the way it’s applied makes some stuff funky.

Why so small? Changing this value to 75% results in a more legible font size, at least on my system. --E Looking at the CSS, I’d say that the culprit is this definition in body:

Is that not the case? (I speak of the main page, not preview; I haven't fooled with that.) Part of the problem: this layout isn't liquid and I think the center column is too narrow. I'll see what I can do to fix that. The comments in the form entry box and in the comment display, should be the same size as the main body type. Is that not the case?

That, and I wanted the weblog to look very different than that for <a href="/481/" rel="nofollow">my New Media class</a>. I do need to clean up the preview page; it's a different template than this one. Just haven't had a chance yet. Hopefully once I do that, preview will play nicer with editing. Those alternating blocks of color were there before---but the color was so light that it was easy to miss.
