take a look at this page: http://www.southbayhappyhours.com/?page_id=3

You should see two columns, one on the left with the facets and one of
the right with the view.

Take a look at the facets and you'll notice that the first letter of
each label is covered up a bit by some empty space, the space where
the checkbox goes.  if you select one of the facets to activate the
checkbox, the box appears and continues to cover some of the first
letter of the label.  this is the case for all of the labels.

i've tried this exhibit in at least one other theme (the default
wordpress theme) and it appears as one would expect.  in this theme,
though, i get the problem described above.

now, before you say its a problem with wordpress and the theme, i've
attempted to style the elements in this theme in a way that i think
would fix the problem (i set the padding on
http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/api-2.0/images/black-check.png to
0).  but, to me, it looks like my styles are being overridden by the
Exhibit styles.

So what I'm asking is, what's the best way to go about styling
exhibit? :)

Thanks for your help,

Michael
