i found this markup like
shown here
i am curious why it appears that lines 12 & 13
.notes:link span,
.notes:visited span { ...
seems to be functioning
.comments span,
background-position: -16px -16px;
}
.permalink:link span,
.permalink:visited span {
background-position: -32px -16px;
}
seems to be non-existent
for unknown reasons, cssdesk looks to be down in that case code below ...
