Everywhere. NN4.x has trouble inheriting styles, so you'll need to do
something like this:
body, div, p
{
    font-size: 12px;
    color: rgb(245,255,255);
    font-family: "lucida sans", sans-serif;
}

 body
{
    background-color: rgb(0,102,102);
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    width: 100%;
}

> in every div except the "ahem" one at the top, my links are
> unformatted. No border on divs after the first days' posts.
> Date alignment is not working. Date background is not working.

You're going to kick yourself here. The one inline style you have
(line#83: style="text-align: right") is killing the remaining styles in
NN4.x .

When NN4.x "forgets" styles, try removing any inline styles, especially
those not related to color and font-size.
