Old but good enough, and my software budget&#8230;paltry).&nbsp; But shortly<br \/>\nafter getting hooked on Firefox, I came upon<br \/>\n<a  href=\"http:\/\/editcss.mozdev.org\/\">Edit CSS<\/a>, a browser<br \/>\nplugin that reveals the style sheet of any site (yeah, I can probably access the<br \/>\nCSS of your site, lift and modify bits of code and put them to my own uses).&nbsp;<br \/>\nBecause MT keeps all of its CSS definitions in a single style sheet, it&#8217;s quite<br \/>\neasy to tweak.&nbsp; The changes, using Edit CSS automatically reflect on the<br \/>\npage as it appears in the browser window.&nbsp; It&#8217;s a live what-if enactment.&nbsp;<br \/>\nTo save changes, copy and paste the modified CSS definitions into the template<br \/>\nand do a quick rebuild. (Honestly, I don&#8217;t know whether everyone already knows<br \/>\nthis).&nbsp; The code in my style sheet is unorthodox&#8211;a mish-mash of what-ifs,<br \/>\nboth kept and unkempt, a stash of aberrant and idle lines (among the pieces<br \/>\ndoing the work).<\/p>\n<p>I installed a WordPress weblog just to mess around with it, try it out.&nbsp;<br \/>\nBut I found that the style sheets were split up.&nbsp; No good.&nbsp; Like five<br \/>\nhair products and five combs. I want a single style sheet that cascades through<br \/>\nthe site.&nbsp; Lazy that way.&nbsp; Seemed like a lot of work to do a redesign<br \/>\nin multiple style sheets, especially when the class and id tags are unfamiliar.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s with all this blog talk?&nbsp; Well, someone asked me about design,<br \/>\nand I&#8217;ve been dropping in a few plugins, floating the blog on some new .pl<br \/>\nscripts.&nbsp; Among the latest plugins:<br \/>\n<a  href=\"http:\/\/www.sixapart.com\/pronet\/plugins\/plugin\/dropcap.html\"><br \/>\nMTDropcap<\/a>,<br \/>\n<a  href=\"http:\/\/www.sixapart.com\/pronet\/weblog\/2004\/12\/mtkeywords_plug.html\"><br \/>\nMTKeywords<\/a>,<br \/>\n<a  href=\"http:\/\/www.staggernation.com\/mtplugins\/LoopReadMe.html\"><br \/>\nMTLoop<\/a>,<br \/>\n<a  href=\"http:\/\/www.sixapart.com\/pronet\/plugins\/plugin\/glue.html\"><br \/>\nMTGlue<\/a> and<br \/>\n<a  href=\"http:\/\/www.sixapart.com\/pronet\/plugins\/plugin\/randomline.html\"><br \/>\nMTRandomLine<\/a>.&nbsp; Unsurprisingly, MTDropcap is doing the work of dropping<br \/>\nthe caps that begin each entry.&nbsp; Into the main index template:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&lt;MTDropCap&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;MTDropCapFormat&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;span class=&quot;drop&quot;&gt;&lt;$MTDropCapLetter$&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;\/MTDropCapFormat&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;$MTEntryBody$&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;\/MTDropCap&gt;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Into the style sheet:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  \/*dropcap*\/<br \/>\n  .drop {<br \/>\n  float: left; <br \/>\n  padding: 0px 5px 5px 3px; <br \/>\n  font-size: 62px; <br \/>\n  line-height: 51px; <br \/>\n  font-weight: none; <br \/>\n  color:#444B60; <br \/>\n  font-family: georgia, times; <br \/>\n  }\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>MTRandomline refs a template file with a list of quotations&#8211;the ones you&#8217;ll<br \/>\nfind at the bottom of this main page and also at the foot of each page in the<br \/>\nindividual entry archive.&nbsp; Randomline regenerates only when a page is<br \/>\nrebuilt, but because I have comments showing here, a different (or the same,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s random) quotation will cycle in with each new comment.&nbsp; I&#8217;m going to<br \/>\nwait a while before rolling out the keywords, loop, glue combination.&nbsp; More<br \/>\non that another time. Why randomline rather than php?&nbsp; Some of the php<br \/>\nstuff I&#8217;ve tried busies the server with extraneous processes (this is probably<br \/>\nmyth, but I had trouble with too many processes invoking when I was running a<br \/>\nrandom image script some time ago). <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the tagging for RandomLine.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  &lt;table class=&quot;headfoot&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class=&quot;headfoot&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;$MTRandomLine module=&quot;quotations&quot;$&gt;&lt;\/td&gt;&lt;\/tr&gt;&lt;\/table&gt;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Easy.&nbsp; Presumably, it can pull anything, so it would be possible to have<br \/>\na Randomline module that invokes images, text or some combination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Everything I know about CSS I learned from experimenting with Movable Type.
