Editorial note: Regular readers will notice that coverage has been pretty thin lately. Mea maxima culpa. I have had a Drupal web site project at my day job that has been kicking my butt for a couple of weeks. The truth is that you *can* get Drupal to do exactly what a designer wants when they throw a Photoshop and a CSS file over the transom, but sometimes you sit for more than a day scratching your head saying, uh, just where the frak is that five-pixel indent in the first paragraph, only visible in IE, coming from? (Answer: the undisplayed taxonomy terms. Firefox has the good sense to ignore tags that weren't being used, IE threw in a space. Setting display:none in desperation solved the problem. But it's been weeks of that...)
