Blogging quickstart sheet
I've put together a quickstart guide covering some of the more important or useful features of the blogging system. I'm planning on sending it out to people who request blogs or accounts on the system for the first time. Comments are most welcome.
Comments
Hi, does anyone know how to access the html/css template for the "comments" page (also where people type in their post)?
For some reason, when students are commenting on my entry, these student posts are showing up in different colored fonts that are hard to read.
Thanks,
Wythe

There is only one stylesheet for the entire blog-that's accessed from your "templates" section. What you need to do is adjust the styles for the relevant classes in the main stylesheet-they seem to be "comments-head," "comments-body" and "comments-post."

Thanks for looking Kyle. Looking at the CSS it's still unclear why people's posts are in different colors -- there should be no way to do this.
I would have thought that there would be an index template for comments -- I'm wondering if there was one in 2.6? Guess I'll just live with it for now until I muster up the strength to do some heavy duty digging.

I went to cogblog and looked at your comments-yours, unlike mine, don't refer to the main stylesheet at all-the colors are hardcoded in. I'm not sure why but I suspect it's because of some change in MT 3.2-I went in and explicitly over-wrote Urblogs template and stylesheet files with the default files that came with 3.2 (which is why urblog looks different than it did before, and probably also why I'm seeing some display quirks-I'm just too lazy to fix them :) )
I may have some time today to troubleshoot while I'm on desk, I'll poke around and see if there's anything I can recommend you do.
