Sorry about changing the layouts online. There was work being done on getting the multisite layouts to work that could only be done live. My guesses on how to do them proved ... pause ... unique :-)
The comment box remains small despite the css changes and the width problems for the sites remains a challenge. I will not be online later today because I have my CPR class tonight and two papers to write. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts on getting that comment box wider.
