That's the right command, depending on which log file you want to use.
I'm surprised it didn't work though there was some strange issue about
virtual hosts and log formats but that was a while ago and I
don't remember specifics.
You also need a line like:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
It's like common except it has referer and user-agent.
BTW, I think using CSS would be a great idea and would then clear up a
lot of things and make them standardised. For example if we didn't
particularly like that particular yellow we can change it, also you
start to use things like h1 instead of font which is good for links.
Netscape will bork them up, but then again Netscape screws pretty much
everything up so I wouldn't be too worried about that. My version of
Gaelon messes some things up too, but Galeon is buggy; it renders a page
I know differently every second refresh, nice huh.
A bad example that is almost w3c compliant is at

It's good enough for me, I suspect it needs a bit more work but I'm not
too worried about it. It's also xhtml. BTW Dennis, I haven't put your
no <ul> in <p> changes yet :/
