I've reverted back to my comfy old rut for the moment, but the S2 system does seem to have some shiny bits that I need to explore further. Unfortunately now is not the night to stay up way past my bedtime learning about them, as I work at 7 tomorrow. On the other hand, I'm not working this weekend, which leaves me with all kinds of free time to learn about it then. For my convenience,
here's a link to the LJ Customize page, where I keep going to explore this stuff.
So I like the "Punquin Elegant" style but it consistently makes my Friends page too wide for my browser. There's probably a way to mess with table widths and suchforth to fix that, I hope. Alternatively, "A Simple Gesture" is pretty except it makes comment pages ass-ugly and for some reason the custom formatting of my "recent events" page doesn't carry over onto the Friends page, which is weird. I want to like "The Boxer" but it's too ugly, likewise "Component" has some of the old Refried Paper appeal but is too ugly in practice and too wide for my browser on Spiffy's little screen anyway. Any which way, I suspect I'll be borrowing quite a bit from my E2
EKW Preferences when I get around to customizing stuff a bit more. But we'll see. For now, the rut is where it's at (two turntables and a microphone, aww yeah). Dang, I wish I knew more about CSS and was more inclined to actually read the "edit style" page instead of going into "yuck! ugly geek shit not written in a Tracy-friendly manner! block it out!" mode. Blech. Sigh.
Oh, and before I forget: many thanks to
jmpava for helping me with
default page stuff, accessible via the former link and the "browse options" links on many a default page. Also big thanks to
Peter for helping me find the Customize Journal page. Whee?
It is so definitely bedtime now.
