The joy of messing with CSS and PHP never ends. After tons of random fidgeting, I finally arrived at a resolution for my blue box border vanishing issues. For some strange reason including a background-color in my final div tag within a parent contain div for a post left some posts without a blue border either above or below the comments.

The final hack was to include the correct background-color in the outer most div tag for a post and not use the background-color attribute for the last inner div tag. What a hack. Curiously, Konqueror rendered the page fine before. Only Firefox through 1.07 (I don’t have 1.5 yet) had this issue.

In between messing with that, I downloaded plugins by Bennett McElwee for WordPress. One eliminates front page clutter and another fixes WordPress’ default behavior of using an internal document reference when clicking on the more… links created by using the former plugin. Finally, I downloaded Kaf OseoKaf’s the_exercept Reloaded plugin for creating exercepts for search results. (Which perhaps I didn’t need…)

Update. Actually, looking at the style sheet for Bennett McElwee’s pages, it looks like maybe I could have included an empty div with an overflow:hidden. Not sure; I’d have to test it.
