Took a little enginuity and unconventional thinking...but I made my own skin (got tired of the plain old look). I wish there was a built in way to do this with the .netweblogs config stuff... but till then, I have my own solution :-).

Cool. How did you do it? Include CSS in the Links section or something??
I spotted a <style> element in the News section ;-)
View source on the page for the details. You need to first remove all the style info w/ javascript, and then put in your own style tag.
Mozilla probably junks up on the remove style stuff...but this is dotnetweblogs anyway, not linux weblogs ;-).
Good stuff Jesse! Can i "Borrow" your skin to my blog?
btw, If you go to Admin->Configuration->Skin and select "CandidBlue" you get pretty much the same skin. Just found this out .. :)
Uhm..
1. I'm using windows, mozilla has a windows client, multiple OS? crazy talk! Are you telling me because I choose to use a different browser I can't learn .NET?
2. Yes, mozilla junks up on the remove styles because you're using a proprietary IE function, ie, none standard. You shouldn't haveto remove styles anyway, they're called cascading for a reason. All you need to do is overwrite them in the last loaded CSS sheet in the document.
3. Style tags go in the header, its illegal to have them in the body of a webpage.
PS, It's "Ingenuity"
Forget what I said about selecting a link from the Admin Skin combo - it breaks the site...
Well, I guess standard's compliance is possible after all :-). How does it look?
Ah. This is much better!!! Good work :) Thanks Dan for your help , and jesse for the great Idea
Nice job, Jesse. I've "borrowed" your style sheet as well. As time permits, I'll probably update to use my own CSS.
Clever idea. Of course, we know what happens if Javascript is disabled. :-)
If you're using the javascript I pasted, if its disabled then the site will just degrade gracefully to the old stylesheet :-)
This is great - many thanks Jesse. BTW - seems to display beautifully in Mozilla 1.3.1
Just playing with this 'approach' - for the being I will also borrow your CSS ... Thanks!
BTW, did anybody find a solution of CSS'ing the "printer friendly" page? This still has the default look. Thanks.
Someone did.... don't remember who...
Do you think you will remember? Just wondering ...
