mmcirvinAnyway, as I've said more than once before, I think that the default templates ("styles" in LJ-speak) provided to LJ users ought to have code in them at least as well-formed as the ones I hacked up today. The new style system does seem to be an interesting overhaul of the template-editing user interface, but the HTML in the templates themselves could be better.
I might make mine public sooner or later.
It would be even nicer if there were a facility for linking to separate CSS files served from LiveJournal. That might actually reduce the load on the servers, since elaborate styles could be cached for multiple views and the view HTML could be extremely lean.
(Users could link to stylesheets on servers external to LiveJournal, but that's not really a good idea for various reasons.)
Update: Fiddled with the code to demonstrate a silly trick.
Update update: Took out the trick because it ruined validation completely. The "one-paragraph-per-entry-with-BRs" format really cramps my style.
