Yep let people see how it looks on a sample page and then copy the css to their server if they want to use it.
However that will mean a bias to blogs looking the same. I haven’t worked out how to get the default index.php to render in a nested float or 3 column layout using CSS yet. There many design choices influenced by the positioning the Div’s

As part of my learning about CSS I’ve been running through some tutorials. As a result I’m building up a collection of index.php/stylesheet.css combinations which I’ll happily share.
You guys may have already figured all this out but, I have some questions.
Q1. how are we going to share them (link from my webpage or send em to you or what)?
Q2. Should contributed stylesheets merely work on the default index.php (limited) or can/should we use the same functions in index.php but play with ordering and div’s?
Q3. Can/should brand new contibuted index.php be renamed (e.g. nested-float.php)
Q4. What about idiosyncracies in the default index.php. Two I hate are hardcoded get_archives(‘monthly’) which ignores the admin panel and leaving out the calendar altogether.
Currently the default WordPress setup is for the stylesheets to be in the root directory. I don’t like that on my site (as I build tests they clutter the directory).
So I’d favor calling the contributed index be called description.php and the css in /styles/description.css but only if WP devteam are looking at supporting that. Otherwise I’ll stick the contributed versions in the root.
Hope this is clear.

Thanks Mike sorry it took so long to get beck to you on this. I removed all my apache httpd.conf changes and reapplied them the next day. Didn’t work. So I rebooted (old window’s habit – httpd restart didn’t work and I didn’t know about SIGHUP until you mentioned it :} . Anyway after running about 30 minutes something made it work.
I wish I knew. But it reports text/css now thank goodness. I posted details in the other thread.

Check your mime.types server config to ensure css files are sent as type test/css
There is also some sensitivity to the DOCTYPE .
I haven’t worked out the details yet for me but I have a problem with @import not working as expected with Mozilla. See https://www.wealthesteem.org
If I embed the style it works well with Mozilla see https://www.wealthesteem.org/nested-float.php

Yes I have a problem with CSS and mozilla. I suspect it is something to do with mime.types but I’ve updated the apache entry to make css files text/css.
If I embedd the style like this https://www.wealthesteem.org/nested-float.php then it appears fine.
Any suggestions?

If you didn’t backup your database you should now anyway before fooling around any more.
# mysqldump –opt b2databasename > backupname.sql
will do it from a command line
