Need help with a Wordpress theme...

c0y0te

I'm currently customising the rin tin tin Wordpress theme over at my test site:-

http://www.avalon5.com/wptest

... and I'm running into several alignment issues which I really need help with. I've already tried to contact the author but no joy there, so I'm hoping you folks can dig me out of a hole.

Basically if you look at my live site:-

http://www.avalon5.com

... you will see how I've implemented things like categories/archives, recent comments etc. I'm trying to get the same to work in the new theme at the test site but the alignment is all off. Specifically...

1) Recent Comments: Seems to include line breaks/carriage returns for some reason.
2) Categories/Archives - seems to display the number of posts on the next line instead of after the description
3) Under the "Concept" section of the left sidebar, I've got an image which I'm trying to get the text to wrap around but for some reason it's not showing
4) Main post - I took a post from the live site which included lots of text wrapped around images aligned both left and right - but in this theme it doesn't work for some reason.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I assume it's just some CSS stuff but I know next to nothing about CSS; hence the call for help. Thanks in advance.
