The CSS is also inconsistent, if not invalid. (I noticed this two weeks ago while creating a theme for a SSG.)

One rule is duplicated (a:visited) where it seems it should refer to a specific class (.hnmore a:visited):

    a:link    { color:#000000; text-decoration:none; }
    a:visited { color:#828282; text-decoration:none; }
    
    ...
    
    .subtext a:link, .subtext a:visited { color:#828282; }
    .subtext a:hover { text-decoration:underline; }
    
    .comhead a:link, .subtext a:visited { color:#828282; }
    .comhead a:hover { text-decoration:underline; }
    
    .hnmore a:link, a:visited { color:#828282; }
    .hnmore { text-decoration:underline; }

Some lines don't have a trailing semicolon while the majority do. 0 probably doesn't need units. ".votelinks.nosee div.votearrow.rotate180" could just have one class rather than this nested thing.

The single-pixel gif as a spacer, that takes my mind back to Geocities.

Sums up software pretty well. If it works, move on to the next thing. No need to get lost in the details that a tiny handful of people see.
