Does anyone known how to make the posts (Cutline 3 column split) appear with neat edges like a newspaper, as if there was an imaginary line down each side of the middle column?

That's simply a matter of justifying paragraphs, and can be done in Wordpress itself. Select a paragraph, and click on the "Hide/Show Advanced Toolbar" or Alt+shift+v, then click the "Align-Full" icon. Or use the Alt+shift+j key combo. Now you have a justified paragraph.

MarkA, thanks mate. Now I need to shift the R/H edge away from the R/H column, or, in other words, move the whole she-bang more towards the middle of the column. Any clues? Thanks.

If I understand this correctly, you want the right hand edge of the center column distanced from the right sidebar. If that's the case, you need to modify your style.css file a bit.
Open the style.css file (with Notepad, if you're using Windows). Find the section where it reads "#container { width:" etc. A couple of lines below that you should be able to see a line that reads: #content { width: x-amount of px; padding: 0 0 0 0; float: left; }
What you need to do is change the padding, and specifically the second zero, to something that you want. My style.css for example reads: #content { width: 500px; padding: 0 5px 0 10px; float: left; }
The first zero adjusts the padding of the column to the top, the second one to the right, the third to the bottom, the fourth to the left.
Good luck.Posted 4 years ago # -
Yes, that's it exactly. Thanks for all your help.

MarkA, another request please. I attempted to change my post headings from black to blue in the style.css like this:
from:
h2 a { color: #000000; text-decoration: none; }to:
h2 a { color: #0066CC; text-decoration: none; }It changed but next time I logged on it was back to black. I was able to change the font size okay.

Also I'd like to change the post font to Trebuchet MS.

I took a look at your site, and the color of the post heading is indeed blue (I assume the #0066CC variety), so I dunno what the problem might be.
As far as the font of your posts, in style.css look at the first line of code where you see "body {etc.}". Put Trebuchet MS in front of Georgia (separated by a comma). That should do the trick.Posted 4 years ago # -
Got the Trebuchet font working but not the post heading colour, although it did come back once then back to black. Anyway, can't get everything right. Thanks again for helping me out.
