If I comment

a:hover
{
        background: #000;
        color: #fff;
}

in styles.css, then the page looks ok...

The page doesn't validate, maybe there's some messed up HTML/CSS...

This is not a bug, the page's code is invalid.  Essentially, the whole feedback
section is set as a link, because either those who developed ".text" or the
owner of that blog messed it up horribly.

Moving to tech-evangelism, this is a mess.
