Would user-defined style sheets be possible?

Would user-defined style sheets be possible? I'm wishing I could control the presentation of posts more than the customization tool allows (spacing, leading, etc.).

Sure, it's possible, and we talked about it a couple weeks back.

Do I have time to implement it? Nope, I'm on a deadline to finish a beta site for a big project in the next two weeks.

Another outside project? At this rate we'll never get those ponies.

Not an outside project, my job, also known as that other thing I'm supposed to be doing during the day instead of being here.

Hey, Creative Commons is one of the few things I can imagine that's more important than ponies for everyone.

After that's done, I want a pony.

So, Matt, are you responsible for the metadata part?
posted by mr_crash_davis at 10:33 AM on August 27, 2002

Creative Commons was founded in 2001 with the generous support of the Center for the Public Domain. It is led by a Board of Directors that includes cyberlaw and intellectual property experts James Boyle, Michael Carroll, and Lawrence Lessig, MIT computer science professor Hal Abelson, lawyer-turned-documentary filmmaker-turned-cyberlaw expert Eric Saltzman, and public domain web publisher Eric Eldred

Wow. All power to your mind and elbow, Matt!

My oldest son is Aaron's age, and I can't get him to turn in his French homework.

I'm going to go kill myself now.

That's the spirit! A weaker man would be tempted to kill the son.

Pretty please. With sugar on top.

Mr Crash: this is why I refuse to have children, to avoid the inevitable disapointment when they turn out to be just like I was at that age.

creative commons will be up in 2-3 weeks? exciting!

Grod, I have found it to be sadly true that despite all attempts to teach them to respect others, encourage them to make a meaningful contribution to society and live their lives in a good and productive way, children usually end up just like their parents.

Ha! Your theory is disproven! I never even took French.

Geometry homework, on the other hand...
