Rodent Regatta

• Until you can take a blank page in Notepad and enter the proper DOCTYPE declaration (preferably from memory)followed by everything it takes to produce an XHTML page that validates, you’ll never style your own weblog.
• Until you can take a blank page in Notepad and enter all of the rules associated with a style sheet (CSS) that validates, you’ll never style your own weblog.
• Until you can identify precisely where each and every tag from your weblog tool of choice belongs within the XHTML template (and styled by the CSS), you’ll never style your own weblog.
• In short, unless you’re a designer or you’re willing to ”settle” for one of the standard templates that comes with your weblog software, you’ll not style your own weblog to suit your wishes.
• Textpattern doesn’t come with a ”styled” template that’s ready for public consumption in version g1.18


• Perhaps there are designers for hire in the Textpattern world.
