Here are the latest set of styles adapted in real CSS. The master CSS file chroniclemaster.css simply uses @imports to summon ec.css (which has all the structure and a basic style) and a custom css file, like ice.css (which has all the design). {Of course, these six are faked so that they don't change as the master CSS file is updated, embedded @imports call the individual CSS files. Changes to the individual CSS will update here; that should be a good look at how future changes could backfire.} Now if we could shift between style sheets on the fly; these CSS looks are in external sheets but which ones are hardwired into the XHTML.
We are also working on style sheets. You can see our basic style on this or any webpage. I would like to convert the whole thing formally over to CSS, so we can use one *.css file to manage all the webpages. It doesn't really matter currently, but it's the only way to control a uniform style for the website that we can change. The sooner we do it the fewer pages we'll have to apply this solution to. The reversed colors section below has evolved since I found a !@%&*(@$# javascript that should give visitors the ability to choose between several styles on the fly. Oh, except I can't get it to work! I'd like to include this CSS selector on the navbar, assuming we ever figure that one out as well. I'm hoping to figure out enough CSS to post some examples here. You know... in between updating the Beta site, redoing the content pages I lost when we switched, (especially Map Central), and trying to learn javascript *grumble grumble* So, I really intend to give you some examples to look at on this, but please be patient.

OK, I guess that wasn't too bad for time. Thanks for being patient. Here are the basic templates for five different styles, although I'm still figuring out calling an external style sheet so for these pages it's all done inline. I'm also moving backwards on the CSS selector, the script I found is free of "charge", it's nothing like public domain, so I just deleted the idiotic thing. Looks like I'll have to find someone to program one from scratch. *sigh*Subjects: Administrative, Administrative, Administrative,
