More New Looks   14 Apr 04
[ print link all ]
I was chatting with Chad Fowler last night on AIM. Amoung other things, Chad demonstrated his MovableStyle template for Rublog. It is pretty neat. You can download stylesheets from MovableStyle intended for MovableType and use them with the latest version of Rublog. Chad’s website uses a MovableStyle stylesheet.

Today Dave Thomas mentions the Moveable Style support in a blog entry. So at this point, I had to experiment!

The following links demonstrate the MovableStyles stylesheets for this website. Click on the link and see this site transformed using the stylesheet. Have fun.

  • ModernLines — Very nice looking.
  • Trendy — I like this one, except for the strange super-sized calendar.
  • Boxed — This one is too busy for my taste.
  • SlashDot — Yes, it is a copy of our favororite geek website.
  • Chad Fowler — Ok, I stole Chad’s style sheet just to show it could be done. I really like this style.
  • Original Rublog — This is the original, out of the box color scheme that comes with Rublog. I find the colors a bit … jarring. But my daughter likes it.
  • Default — The default look and feel for this site. It feels a bit plain now.

All but the last two styles were downloaded from MovableStyles.

Correction: Chad tells me that his style is a MovableType style, but it was not downloaded from the MovableStyle web site.
