Why CSS skinning makes sense
With the new "layout switching" feature of antville 1.1 we can switch different single skins or have a complete redesign of the blog within a few secondes. What did not change - for worse - is, that the default antville.org skins are not 'open' to CSS customization after all.
Last year i started an experiment: changed the original antville skins to a skinset, that follows the 'MovableType' format rather closely. As a result, you could change the whole blog-appearance with a single click (in the example) to a different look+layout - simply applying a different stylesheet.
look + click the buttons: mms.antville.org
I propose to support this feature within the new antville.org too - we don't need to take the MT skins, we could do it with our own skinset. But the overall skin composition has to change - completely.
