[thelist] CSS layout site check

[Peter-Paul Koch]

As far as I can see it can look OK-ish in NN4 if you put the image outside 
the P. An image inside a P with a line-height fouls up mightily in NN4, if 
you put it outside the P it will probably look much better.

If you redefine

border-bottom: 4px solid #000066;

as

border-bottom-width: 4px;
border-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #000066;

the border below the logo will also show up correctly in NN4. (Well, maybe 
it should be border-bottom-style and border-color, I'm not sure).

Because CSS is more fun <g>. Besides, I took a look in NN3 and it still 
looked OK (though most of the style is gone, of course). Still readable.

All in all a good example of the power of CSS.
