How to use CSS in a River of News aggregator?
Wednesday, June 17, 2009 by Dave Winer.
I'm re-doing the way the NewsRiver aggregator displays the most recent news. Up until now it has used tables. Now I want to use CSS. 
I've uploaded the table-based version of the page so you can see what I'm starting with.

I'm looking for examples that do something similar, in CSS. All pointers are appreciated. Help me get this right and I'll publish the results, as an OPML Editor tool, open source.
Update: Thanks for all the ideas! Based on the discussion, I've got a new plan.
