A small update to the Geekzone Blogs code
Geekzone Blog, posted: 4-JAN-2007 13:01
If you have a Geekzone Blog and use a customised stylesheet, please note that because of the addition of a DTD declaration you might need to update a couple of items...
First make sure images are not affected. If you are using the default template you don't need to do anything. But if you are using a custom template and notice extra space around images or wrong image alignment, then check the following updated tags:
Also, make sure you have an "#" before any background-color code (or any color) declaration. We have noticed some blogs "lost" their background colours with the new DTD. For example, this is the default colour in the background:
Also new is the ability to add code to the HEAD section of the generated HTML. This is useful for tags, visitor tracking, etc.

img {margin:0 auto;border-width:0px;padding:3px;vertical-align:middle;}Note that these are the new default values. You can use the new values as is, or add your own.
.miniicons {font-size:10px;padding:0px;margin:15px 15px 0px 15px;}
Also, make sure you have an "#" before any background-color code (or any color) declaration. We have noticed some blogs "lost" their background colours with the new DTD. For example, this is the default colour in the background:
body {background-color:#B0B8A0;margin:25px;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11px;word-wrap:break-word;}
