Making a spiffy calendar and formatting a community layout

[fencer_x]

I originally asked these questions over on everything_lj, but figured the actual Minimalism comm might be better. I have a couple of things I'm trying to do:

1) I'm trying to make the calendar (in the sidebar and in the archive page) on japanorama have the same between-cell margins as in tenimyutopia's sidebar (where the individual days look like blocks floating on a solid background), but no matter how I insert margins or padding into the .calendar-wrap td CSS, nothing happens (margin coding doesn't change anything at all) :/ Any ideas on how to achieve this?

2) This is probably a futile question, but I'll give it a shot: My code will ultimately be placed on a community, and therefore the "USERNAME wrote in COMMUNITY" that appears on the friends page will be pretty redundant (since presumably it'll show up on the recent entries page that way). Is there any way to remove the "wrote in COMMUNITY" text from the box WITHOUT using layers (i.e. with only a basic account)?

Thanks for any help you can offer! My CSS code is in the box below:
