first tweakage

inveterate tinkerer that i am, i wasnae able to leave the default template alone for long.  although it's the cleanest looking of the templates available, there were a few things about it which bugged me, so i made some initial adjustments.  no doubt i'll be returning to tinker at a later date.  for now i've:

  • moved the sidebar to the left - where it should be [IMHO]
  • widened the whole layout.  there was a lot of screenspace going to waste there.
  • created a 'clear'  class.  it was referenced in the code but not defined.  it's used to keep things clear of floated images  [such as  the dotted line under the profile pic].
  • removed the annoying grey border from around images in posts.
  • knocked the default fontsize up 10% - it was s-o-o-o wee!
  • defined some CSS for <blockquote> and <code> tags
  • a couple of other minor twiddles to margins and padding, here and there.
that'll do for the first hacking session!
