Oh - as you can see, my post came in "on time". Let me know if the code change works for you :->

[matgb]

Heh-now all you need to do is get in the habit of editing the post and disabling auto-formatting to get rid of all the excess linebreaks. And fiddling with your CSS to make it less ugly...

I'll try to play later, Teh Shrub has the PC with the FTP client on it currently, CBeebies is more important than Starcraft :-(

[andrewducker]

My CSS?

I has CSS?

disabling autoformatting would be good. You got yours up somewhere, so I can compare code?

[matgb]

Not yet, but this should work:

.delicious {
list-style:none;
}
.delicious ul {
padding:0px;
}
.delicious li {
border-bottom:2px dotted #000;
margin:0px 0px;
}
.delicious-link {
font-weight:bold;
text-align:left;
}
.delicious-link a:link {
color:#ee5;
}
.delicious-tags {
text-transform:uppercase;
color:#ee5;
}
.delicious-tags a:after{
content: ",";
}You can simply add it in here:

And mess with the rest of your layout if you want. I keep tweaking mine, never have got it quite right.

Oooh, cool, cheers!

I also added a font-size:smaller to the tags, so that they didn't dominate the text when they're uppercased.

That, plus the code for disabling autoformatting will make me rather happy :->

(Oh - I also want to change the code slightly so it works off of time zones, rather than from a number of hours - but that's not urgent).

font-size:smaller

Good call, hadn't occured to me.

I don't know how to automatically disable auto-formatting, I have an email alert for when I post and just edit the post directly, tend to change the title and add better tags if I've time as well.

[matgb]

and
text-align: right;
works fairly well also, puts the tags where I prefer to have them in my layout and 'ends' the entry, which is nice.

[andrewducker]

I've just edited my script to not autoformat. I hope. I guess I'll find out tomorrow :->

[andrewducker]

Got it disabling the autoformat:

array(
'taglist'=>"delicious glue,links",
'opt_preformatted'=>true
);
