Which style to choose?
Hello everybody. Iβm in need of an advice choosing a style.
I will try to summarize what Iβm looking for.
- It shall produce semantic HTML. The journal title in
<h1>, post titles in<h2>, no tables in sight whatsoever. Structural<div>s where applicable, with a rich assortment ofclasses available for styling via CSS. - Ideally, XHTML 1.0 Strict or HTML 4.01 Strict. Practically, I donβt mind if it is declared transitional but does not make use of presentational HTML markup.
- It shall allow me to discard all the predefined styling and apply my own CSS.
- It shall not be modified by the LJ staff too frequently, that I could set it up once and forget. (Case in point: the otherwise sensible Cuteness Attack style has recently grown a conditional comment that sets
#content { margin-top: -660px; }for IE6 and IE7, which, in the absence of the default styling, makes the top post unreadable and the whole journal ugly. Once I was told about the problem, I fixed it by adding amargin-top: 0px !importantto my custom CSS, but I really wish such sudden and difficult-to-notice-in-Firefox changes did not happen.) - It shall let allow customization of the date and time formats, or offer ISO
YYYY-mm-ddand 24hHH:mmas options.
I understand that my requests would be best answered by the raw S2 customization facilities, but I am not using a paid account and do not plan on paying for what I consider to be basic features.
