Answer: How to put boxes around those cool news scripts by Dave, Jim and others.

There are at least two ways: 1) use css formatting thanks to a hint by Lawrence Lee and 2) use Dave's Going Even Crazier: Frames Macro (thanks to Alison Fish, who sent me an email). I prefer the first method because I can have even more control: include colors, etc. example: my  DC Dog site is formatted by css formatting. All I had to do was just copy a couple of my already created css over to the Radioland home template and then call them when I needed to:

1) in the style section of my header in the html (Home template), I added these two from my DC Dogs: (When you get to the site, just view the source code)

.sidetop {
  text-align: center;
  font-size: .95em;
  padding: 2px;
  background-color: #FFAA00;
  border: 1px solid #000000;
}
.sideelse {
  text-align: left;
  padding-left: 8px;
  font-size: .9em;
  background-color: #EEEEEE;
  border-width: 0px 1px 1px 1px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: #000000;
}

then I called them like so: <div class="sidetop"><b>Subscribed</b></div>
    <div class="sideelse"><font class="small">
<%radio.macros.blogroll ("http://radio.weblogs.com/0107233/gems/mySubscriptions.opml")%></font>
</div>

2) "Question [snip]... I 'd like to know how to put boxes around these
links and make them look organized like Jeff did... )"

Re: How do I see who is linking to me? partial ANSWER I stumbled on this referrer by luck and it turns out that Ecosystem statistics will find some of those sites which are linking to you. I find that the sites which are linking to Dog News aren't always in the referer ranking stats (hmmm... you cloakers); now I find some of them via Ecosystem.

Ecosystem stats for dog news: These stats are for the current day only, but it's nice to have. Nice that we don't have to set up a server to provide these. My post about it here (with other stats for some Radio weblogs): Thanks, Ecosystem! You can find yours by just substituting your web site's url in the appropriate place. cool...

Also, if your site is syndicated by DayPop you can find out some of your referring sites there... http://www.daypop.com/search?q=link:radio.weblogs.com/0107233

Just substitute your website in the url! easy, eh...

I signed up for a free counter too, (straight cut and pasted javascript) but it has done nothing but give me errors; so that's what kept reporting errors.
