Full Version: box around each day?
It looks like you have too many closing /div 's at the bottom of your MTEntries container. Try fixing that and see if that fixes your boxes up how you want them

I was wanting to do that exact same thing earlier tonight so I sat down to figure it out. At first I was having trouble getting it so each DAY was within a box. I had it either the entire list of entries in one box (like your's is currently) or each invdividual entry was in a box (which wouldn't have been bad as long as I had the date at the top of each box - which I didn't and didn't really want).
So, that said, here goes:
The key pieces of info you want to make note of in there are the div="blogbox" inside the MTDateHeader and the /div inside the MTDateFooter. The actual class "blogbox" contains two elements: border=1px solid #000; and margin-bottom=5px; (to allow for a slight space between days.
For an example of what I mean visit my site here. Note that this is basically the original template that has been changed only slightly. I haven't had a chance to sit down and re-do the layout to the way it was when I used blogger and then greymatter. someday, someday...
