I've been trying to have a go at making a LiveJournal style that'll look kind of like a Unix-style command-line interface[1]. You can have a look at my latest attempt by specifying the style number.

What do you think? What would you improve?

I know next to nothing about CSS and I pretty much just took one of the LJ basic styles and fiddled around with it. There are probably a bunch more CSS styles I should add and/or change; for example, I think the command-line should have a style of their own to differentiate them from the "output" of the commands called. Not sure what to do.

[1] I'm sure that I'm not the first to come up with this kind of idea. If someone else knows of an existing style number that's similar, I'd appreciate it if you'd point me to the number and/or the journal of someone who has something like this.

Maybe I should just change it to "font-family: monospace". If I understand correctly, this should (in theory) use whichever monospace font the user likes (i.e. whichever he told his browser he prefers).

Then if one person has Courier there and another has, say, Lucida Console, then both can be happy.

Yeah, that would work =)

Hmm... seems like my browser already does that. My bad.

Just one other thing which is that the templates are based in BML and it seems that it's a templating language in itself. I'm not sure if you can provide yourself some new tags or set template variables for later usage, which would provide yet another way to help you get around the scope problems.
