HTMLは次のように、シンプル

<div class="bubble">

<span class="count">... counter ...</span>

comments

</div>

CSSも以下のような感じ

.bubble{

    background:url(img/bubble.png) left top no-repeat;

    color:#575553;

    float:left;

    font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

    font-size:9px;

    height:68px;

    margin-right:20px;

    padding-top:7px;

    text-align:center;

    width:70px;

}



.bubble .count{

    font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

    font-size:24px;

    color:#CC6600;

}
