I had trouble changing the CSS because I couldn't find 'line 123' in the code. The lines aren't numbered in my WP theme editor... so I changed the footer PHP, probably not as good, but easier.
When I can figure a way to find the view the line numbers I will try to change the CSS ... Think I could somehow load the stylesheet into TextWrangler to view it?
Thanks for your help.
