[Cialug] OT: CSS Help

[lister at kulish.com]

First, thanks all for the firebug tip.  That thing works GREAT!

A special thanks to Kenneth for the direct tips.

At this point it's mostly fixed up.  At least everything is usable.
Only issue is still with the story/blog post preview.  Getting some white
fields still.  It's ugly but functional.  The main body of the preview
has the correct background color now.

I've been keeping notes on what I changed and why in case there are 
unintended consequences.

Thanks again for all the suggestions!
