Yes, I noticed that Randy added -

margin:0;
padding:0;

to the #fp_ftr styles.

The bold link text was caused by your generic a:link style, and as mentioned
in an earler email can easily be fixed, e.g.

/* --Links-- */
.container a:link {
font-weight:bold;
}

.container a:visited {
color:purple;
font-weight:bold;
}

The double image probem has come about through some other style that you are
using in a table - somewhere? Don't worry about it, because it revealled an
accidental double style in the footer CSS. The image had been inserted as a
background into the lefthand table cell, and the image had been made
clickable by using -

a {display:block; width:?px; height:?px;}

The styles for the .gif image and the link were then combined. Unfortunately
that meant the image was loaded twice, and the problem was revealled when
another style moved one a few px.

Randy has been sent some updated CSS, and the problems mentioned should soon
be solved.
