Playing around with my LJ style

[pne]

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.

Cool! Like the usage of cat and ls. Though, in an extemely nitpicky-sense (aside from the the image, which might just be a wierd case of being in the framebuffer, the disturbing feeling of being in windows-telnet, and you'll get the emacs nut asking for their editor... haha) "cat next-entry" seems a little odd.

The CSS looks fine, you may even have too much in there. It's just shell after all 0;)

You may find this link handy. Though MS based, and though some stuff like filters are only for IE, if you're willing to drop support for 4.7 (which is hell to work with for just 2-4% of the population IMHO) Mozilla will support most of the attributes and things will be fine. Object placement often varies slightly though. http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/css/reference/attributes.asp

Hm... I think I'd rather have a go with the W3 CSS spec. And most of the CSS is there from the original style; I was too unsure about what I could throw away so I kept it.

I imagine it'll evolve a bit over time as I tinker with it now and then.

I'll have to think what to do with the userpic. Perhaps have a command line like xv userpic.png & and the userpic floating in border at the top right, or something.

Oh, and the emacs nut asking for their editor can go jump in a lake :)
