I'd suggest changing the 'he' in your Nintendo DS article to 'they'.

If within the last two months you've accompanied your favorite gamer on a cross-country flight, on an extended road trip or in a long line at the DMV and they didn't whip out the new Nintendo DS, either they don't have it yet or they've discovered reading. This new portable system would make a great gift for someone who likes to "game on the go."
It includes both genders. Just wanted to point that out.

Get Your Containers Right With CSS!

I've been beating my head against the wall (proverbially, at least) with what should be a simple CSS style issue: I want to change the color and style of some text links on a Web page. I've been trying this:

Going to start making my Pokémon game for RMXP, need help with tilesets, spriting, and scripting. PM me for details!

I'd suggest you use he/she, since "they" is a plural pronoun, and is incorrect grammar in that context. It's a common mistake. "It" would also be correct, but rude at the same time. I suggest you use he/she, since you're not talking about more than one gamer, as indicated in the quotation.

And brackets are messy.

He/she is incorrect. Politically correct, but not gramatically, at least that's what I've been taught by almost every English teacher I've ever had.
Then write "he or she" rather than "he/she". It's perfectly correct, since you need to use a singular pronoun. It's the same in English and French. In French, you have the luxury of assuming any unknown person is male when using a refering pronoun -- "il" rather than "elle". That's how it works. N'est pas? You wouldn't use "ils" in French to refer to one person. Nor would you use "they" to refer to one person in Enlgish. That's what I've been taught, and what I've read, and what I know to be correct.
