Yes, it is an HTML/CSS issue, not really anything to do with the PHP.  
Gregory, if you can get your hands on the New Riders book _Eric Meyer on 
CSS_, it has a good chapter specifically on styling a calendar.  In a 
nutshell, in the CSS you might set an explicit width and height for the 
days, style the font size for links to fit the small boxes, gray out the 
days on the calendar page that come before the 1st of the month and last 
of the month, and perhaps highlight the current day.  Eric's book goes 
into all that quite nicely, too.  With PHP, you can have the markup 
generated for the current day with something like class="current-day," 
holidays with a "holiday" class, and so forth.

HTH!
