stylecatcher for dummies
Saturday, October 01, 2005
That is the name of a book I'm keeping a lookout for.
Let me know if you come across it, because it turns out that I need it rather badly:
I've been playing with my Movable Type 3.2 upgrade, and every new feature really impresses me.
Except for Stylecatcher, which is supposed to make switching stylesheets as simple as a few mouseclicks, as opposed to the arduous recoding of a css file that used to be required.
But because of some heretofore undiscovered talent for fucking up simple instructions, I cannot change the default (read:ugly) stylesheet that ships with MT without causing all the content to go to one column and generally look like ass.
You'd think that I could at least copy the css file I want and manually overwrite my templated stylesheet right? Nope, even that fucks it up. Must be something with the way I ctrl-v. I hear its all in the wrist.
Anyway, I did manage to find one stylesheet that, with a few minor tweaks, fits into my site nicely.
So this is the new look for the site; learn to like it, because with the huge pain in the ass that changing it will be, its staying the way it is for a long while.
