Question on Italic/Bold Text Colors & Comment Page Problem

[kewliopenguin]

i looked around and i don't think this has been answered before, but i'm pretty n00bish so it might have and i just didn't get it. *shame*

okay so my question is: How can you make the text you write in italics or bold automatically a certain color? i know you can edit it to be a different color while you're typing the entry but, for example, kyogou's

Just whack the following CSS in.

strong, b {
color: #ffffff;
}
em, i {
color: #000000;
}

9em; } tr { color } table { color } p { color } li { color } ul { color } ol { color } hr { color } b { color } strong { color }.

Might I suggest that, for reasons of accessibility for other users, you don't automatically change the colours of your text? If people have difficulties with their vision then they often set their browsers to display in certain ways, but if you set text colour then you override their settings and this may make your writing difficult for them to read.

It is of course your choice, but I think it's something to consider. I hope you don't mind my butting in.

I don't see the current music problem, but your comment problem is becasue you've set a width to .commentHolder, remove the width and add a margin-right instead:

.commentHolder {
margin-top:6px;
margin-left:10px;
width: 540px;
margin-right:10px;
background-color: #c5be77;
border:7px solid #ffffff;
margin-top:6px;
color:#ffffff;
}

you also might want to unstrike your post, if someone else has the same problem it would make things easier

YAAAAY! that worked perfectly! ^^ thank you so much!

and for the current music, the entire text of that entry was supposed to be "FFVII: Crisis Core OST Theme of CRISIS CORE "To a New Post"" ^^; and the "Crisis" and most of the "Core" got cut off on the left side. and on some of my other posts it gets cut off on the right.

and okie dokie~ i'll unstrike it! sorry! ^^;;;

Ok, now, after looking at your layout in IE I see the problem. It's caused by the negative margin-left in .entryMetadata

.entryMetadata {
FONT-SIZE: 7pt;
MARGIN-LEFT: -35px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma
}

hmmmmm, curious... i've tried several differnt px values (keeping in mind to keep them not negative! ^^) and here are the results:

(well, firstly, here is what a few enteries look like w/ -35px)
-supposed to read "BACK-ON - flower" but the flower is cut off
-in this one, the word "tags" is nicely aligned with the entry text and the music goes to the next line (ideal)

Here's what the second entry looks like with 35px:
-oh noes!

and here's what that entry looks like w/ 0px:
-yay for the entire current music text being there! but is there a way to make that word "tag" be aligned with the entry text? (as it is, it looks indented)

thanks so much for your help! sorry to be such a pain... but i'd be soooo lost without you!
