A little mid-week bibbling around

So far, this week hasn't been too bad despite my expectation of chaos and confusion. The worst that's happened is that data keeps disappearing from the data warehouse, but IT are apparently "on to it". Uh-huh

Anyone know how I can export the style without having to do a manual copying out the settings on a scrap of paper job?

You could print the page, that's what I've done.

I still haven't got round to even looking to see what these new styles are.

If there isn't an easier shortcut then that's what I may do. Alternatively I may copy screen prints into a Word document so that I have an electronic backup in case I lose the printout.

Some of them look pretty nice. I've been thinking about getting a layout that's got black text on white, but turning this layout monochrome would probably look pretty ugly. Soeme of the new styles are pretty nice and apparently specifically designed to be easier to manipulate with CSS. My only concern is losing some of the features that I like in this layout - like tags, links in the side bar and a calendar. The new layout has more side bar modules but the previews are too small to reall see what the side bar modules are and whether I'll want any of them.

Wow, thtat turned into more of a babble than intended.

I have a thing that prints to PDF, which is quite helpful for that sort of thing.

I discovered why I haven't looked at this new style - because it's for paid account users only! I thought it was but then got confused because lots of people keep talking about it.

Ah, that would make sense. I am sad enough to have a paid account :-) I think that I've fiddled enough with this one for tonight - I had to delve into the CSS a little so that the body text would be re-sizable in IE, but I'm feeling pretty happy with the new layout. I could go on tweaking it further over the next few days, but...

The Expressive layouts are much nicer than any of the other layouts I've seen. There were quite a few that I was tempted towards so I could be testing out a couple of them if I get bored with monochrome. However, this monochrome is much more stylish than other ones :-)

Hmm, I may also be hidding out the tag cloud. I'll see how much it annoys me over the next couple of days.

I do like the fact that the comments form appears under the previous replies so that I can check back to what I said earlier and, er, which icon I used.
