Provenance: Unknown has a very good and suitably short web style guide. More people need a style guide when writing online. It would be nice if they would be consistent with themselves, let alone a well though out guide like PU's.

I unsubbed from www-style. it's really high volume at the moment with the 2.1 comments and stuff and it's all really boring.

Plus I realised that they don't really make the rules. They have done in the past, but now they seem more interested in writing specifications for concepts agreed in the browser-space (to some extent at least). Secondly, they never, ever, listened to my POV anyway. Oh well.

CSS layout needs to be symmetrical. I'm not sure how the conversation got started, but posts from this thread have turned up in a number of my trawls through the www-style archives. It's fairly recent (2002) and there seems to be a lot of opinion being about the CSS's deficiencies.

Greymatter is a particuarly feature packed blog package. Has things like karma and stuff. It can do on-the-fly skin changes with CSS.

Literally dozens of configuration options...

It has here style comments, which are no good for Hype, IMHO. They just take content away from the front page.

Collapsing: With the Hype2 style of portlets there's no reason not to have close icons on the optional portlets. Just shortcuts to modify your config record doofer. It's tempting to go for Slashdot-style re-ordering buttons, but they're really slow 'cos they require so many reloads. A better idea would be a set of 3 list boxes somewhere in the profile section.

I added a regular expression to highlight search terms in matching entries, in the style of Google's cache. This is a nice thing, if a bit poncey. It has a known issue that it will match text in a tag.

E.g. a search for hypothetical will replace all instances of hypothetical with <span style="background-color:#9f0;">hypothetical</span>. If there is a link to hype it will go from:

<a href="http://hypothetical.co.uk/">hype!</a>

to

<a href="http://<span style="background-color:#9f0;">hypothetical</span>.co.uk/">hype!</a>

Which isn't valid HTML and will snap browsers like a twig. Well, nearly.
