Yes, that's what I'm saying. With the stylesheet, you can make a single change {letter-spacing: 0.5em} and have it apply to the whole text. That's important because someday you will decide you didn't like that letter spacing after all, ("it's soooo 2003"), and two keystrokes remove the effect. On such a small page (once you de-keen it ;) it probably doesn't matter, but if you had, say, 10 pages of similar design, it would get tedious after a while.

Ehhh... I already forgot where the footer applied. But it sounds like you want a normal block-level element, in which case just use a div. You might also be talking about a floated element. I suggest reading CSS2, 9.3ff: [link|http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#positioning-scheme|http://www.w3.org/TR...ositioning-scheme]

Heh. Code may be autogenerated with abandon, but I still appreciate the human-written short story. :)
