Having not delved into the depths of redesigning the default skin of COREBlog I can’t speak for the degree of Standards Compliance yet. I’m not sure I want to find out either. These kind folks have made some modifications to COREBlog to make it truely standards compliant and completely seperate content from layout (ah the beauty of CSS ;-). However, since they don’t say what version of COREBlog the modifications were made for I’m not going to install it. I’ll just toil away with the default stuff. I’m sure I’ll be delving into the code to make it output the html so it will work properly with my CSS. :D
Something else I’d like to know: How the hell do you make the blog the default page in your Zope instance? I’ve tried everything I can think of but can’t grasp it due to lack of decent, legible documentation that doesn’t require a PhD in Computer Science to comprehend. In fact, I almost gave up when I nuked my Zope instance.
Note… do not use a SiteRoot unless you know what it is for. It breaks things. Unfortunately I still don’t know what it’s for.
