What you need is a primer on CSS first. It's sorta like HTML and javascript, but specificly intended to address layout and appearance issues. Kinda like typesetting, but for the web. These might help... http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learning http://www.w3schools.com/css/ http://www.echoecho.com/css.htm http://www.htmldog.com/ Once you get an idea of what CSS can do/does, then... You'll still have to look through the source to figure out what classes/IDs are associated with certain web site elements. Not exactly easy for the newb to this thing, but probably the only way to go about it until the site gets settled down/debugged and those things get documented somewhere. (Hopefully there'll be a graphic block diagram showing which class/id affects what area.) I'm tempted to just give a list of some settings for my CSS here, but I have a feeling that we'll see a revision or two that will address bugs here and alter the effectiveness of these settings. (A couple of classes/ids don't even go to the elements they name and such. Understandable to some extent when they get lost in table tags. I'm thinking my current workarounds for those shouldn't last very long.)
