Fixing some type style bugs on some templates

You may have notice a formating bug (on some templates) in the way your profile text looks and the way the username appears in your comment section. If you have not modified your template, you can simply navigate via the homepage, click on the "Blog" button in the top menu, then the Template link in the horizontal menu, then Browse in the right column and pick the template that you want from the selections. That should do it.

If you have modified your template and don't want to lose the changes, you can fix yourself with a little cut and pasting in the template itself. Be careful to not cut anything not indicated and to be meticulously accurate in following these few steps:

(1) From the homepage login and click on the "Blog" button in the top menu.
(2) Click on the Template link in the horizontal menu bar.
(3) In the Template text find the following code:
#contentright p {

Change it to:
.aboutme,#contentright p {

(4) Find this section of code:
<p style="text-align: center"><$BlogAboutMe$></p>

Change it to:
<div class="aboutme" style="text-align: center"><$BlogAboutMe$></div>

(5) And finally, find the text:
.comment-bottom {

Change it to:
comment-bottom td, .comment-bottom {

Let me know if you have any problems, if this does not work for you or if you have hopelessy botched the job!
