Little Known Author Seeks Tiny Bit of Advice

I'm pretty happy with the way this site looks. I keep meaning to add a list of links to the other fab places I visit, but have been distracted with Book Woes for what feels like forever.

One thing I would like is for the email link I've added over on the sidebar to be in the same font as the body of these blog entries. I've stared and stared at the stylesheet for this blog, and I'm damned if I can figure out how to do this. If there's a simple way to do this I'd be much obliged. There might even be a shiny space cookie in it for the lucky assistant.

Thanks!

Looking at the page source (View>Page Source), the h2 tags aren't getting wrapped around the mailto line, although they do get wrapped around the lines before and after. Have you looked at that area of the index template rather than the stylesheet? Whatever markup is around 'Contact' should also be around the mailto line. PS, save a backup first! This suggestion is awfully vague, because it's a while since I've laid hands on an MT template.

Yum, space cookies. Have you tried this? Go to the section of your style sheet that looks like this:

#right {
float: left;


width: 200px;
background-color: #222;

overflow: hidden;
}

and add the font lines, like this:

#right {
float: left;


width: 200px;
background-color: #222;
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: small;

overflow: hidden;
}

It's not the most elegant solution, but it seems to work on my desktop test.
