This is the sort of troubleshooting issue that makes my
teeth hurt, so
I'm hoping somebody's seen something like this, or somebody
has a great
knack for debugging CSS problems.
The blog I've been putting together is slated to replace one
currently
being run on Blogspot, and seemed stable and ready to
go--that is until
I noticed a display problem (black background that's
supposed to be
white in the region where the postings are) that only seems
to manifest
itself in Firefox. Here's what I know.
1. Right now the entirety of the blog is postings imported
from Blogspot
using the Syndication Feed Import plugin, excepting three
test posts put
up by me from the Admin console.
2. Everything displays great for the IE user.
3. The problem can be seen only if: There are three or more
blog
entries on the page AND one or more of those entries came in
via the
syndication feed entry. (Pages consisting solely of
postings created on
the Admin console or with w.bloggar show up fine, as do
pages with just
one or two imported postings.)
4. The problem only occurs when I use my own custom
html-flavor template
(more or less based on cphi). When I switch to others (I
tried asual,
cphi & pumpkin) the background issues go away.
In short, it looks like there's some kind of bad interaction
between
something that's getting imported and something in my
template (or more
likely the CSS called therein), and it's something that is
only an issue
for Firefox.
If anyone feels like playing with this, here are some URLs:

A page that looks fine, consisting of admin console
postings:

A page that exemplifies the problem:
