Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - [CSS] How to fix a couple of specific CSS validation errors...

Well, I'm now three weeks into the world of web design, and I have another question.

I took a template from oswd and decided to rewrite it using xhtml and css rather than the mess of nested tables that were used by the original author. I'm almost finished, but I'm getting two css validtation errors and I'm not quite sure what I need to do to fix them:

* Line : 100 (Level : 2) Redefinition of border-top-width : .news
* Line : 127 (Level : 2) Redefinition of border-top-width : #maincontent p

Link to the site in its present form.

Here is my css file for reference:

Code:
