A little while back I mentioned a new segment I planned to create called Media Intake. Well, it's ready enough for you to see it, if you'd like. Here it is. Essentially, I will be able to keep track of every bit of media I take in. Every book I read, every record I hear and every film I see. Right now, it is just a basic list of everything I have entered. There is more information about each event that is not listed yet, but it's coming.
So, in Zeldman-esque style, I will let you watch me as I create. Along those lines, I have a question for CSS gurus. When I'm using a table (it's ok, it's for data. you're supposed to use them), how can I create a border in the cell? Also, how do I get rid of cellspacing and cellpadding with CSS? I can't figure these things out.
Finally, could those people with windows machines check out the page and make sure it doesn't look funny. Thanks.

Let me try and help: to create a cell border in CSS do the following:
'.border {border: 1px solid #000;}'
and then assign a class in the cell:
''
Thats all there is to it! For cellspacing and padding, you can use padding: '0px;' in CSS but I'm not sure about spacing. You might try margin or border-spacing to achieve that affect.

padding and margin take the place of cellpadding and cellspacing, respectively
so -table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0- is the same as having yer stylesheet say td { padding: 0; margin: 0 }
