 * Pretty sure that this hasn’t been asked before – My blog’s ([http://www.susdev.info](http://www.susdev.info))
   CSS is doing something wierd with the comments pages, and I wondered if anyone
   would be able to shed some light on this.
 * Essentially, they are no margins on the left for the posts and the ‘leave a reply’
   boxes.
 * What classes are these?

 * Not sure if this is the problem, but I’ve suffered margin and formatting issues
   when have posted content (via copy/paste) without first changing the text to 
   ASCII format to remove errant characters and embedded code (specifically from
   Microsuck Word, which has a mind of its own, but don’t get me started!).
 * So, in the example of your entry “The Tipping Point”, is there chance the content
   was copy/pasted without running that through a web-specific text editor? I use
   the free TextWrangler (Mac) and select “Convert to ASCII” in the Text pull-down.
   That rids the text of anything that might cause conflicting characters and rogue
   punctuation marks that seem to muddy up the usually-friendly relationship between
   posts and the structure they reside in…
 * Best of luck,

 * Ah, genius – should have probably thought looking at the source code.
 * Wood for the trees and all that 🙂
 * Cheers Stevo and Moshu!
