Help with link colors in a div and having my content div expand itself?

Hey guys I just recently started learning how to code to code my layout I made for my website and so far have been getting to where I want but have a few problems.

www.traphouseskateboards.com/blog.php

for the content div I want it to expand itself with the content instead of having the scroll bar. and for the links in my miniblog I want them to be black but can't figure either of these problems out.





Code:
<?php
define('IN_BLOG', true);
define('PATH', '');
include('includes/miniblog.php');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Hello fioater,
To let #content expand with it's content, don't specify a height.
Code:
#content {
    float: left;
    font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-style: normal;
    /*height: 900px;*/
    margin-left: 15px;
    overflow: auto;
    padding-bottom: 25px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 660px;
}

Look at what this bit of CSS does for your links (assuming I've targeted the correct links, not sure what your "miniblog" is) -
Code:
#blog a:link, #blog a:visited {color: #000;}
#blog a:hover, #blog a:active {color: #f00;}
