A cascading style Christmas Card (NO tables!) and a change to comments

I’m continuing to learn a bit in MS Expression Web. The little “Christmas card” above was created completely without the use of tables… and that’s quite an accomplishment for me. It uses in-line styles. I don’t quite understand it yet, but I can learn.

I’ve also added an option with the comments so that the few who comment here can subscribe to see what my reply is, if they so desire, and what others after them have said. I generally subscribe to comments when commenting on other blogs and this has been on my to-do list for quite a while.
