boundbooksI think I got the terminology right in the title, but I'm unsure. My tricky problem is as follows:
I haven't dabbled much at all into CSS, but I'm part of a mod-team which wants to mirror a community on LJ and DW. Over on LJ we have a very pretty layout:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
dhr_advent which was made by a volunteer (who does not have a DW account). I would like to use this same layout over on DW.
I usedparapsychic's Importing Flexible Squares journal style to Dreamwidth, and was able to get the visuals to work: See ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
dhr_advent
However, all the little things that make Dreamwidth enjoyable are horribly busted. I assume that this is because that's all built into the DW S2 stuff, and not LJ's flexible squares. Right now, I can't manage tags, I can't click headers to open entries, the tag module isn't appearing on the front page, and who knows what else.
What's my best bet to mimic as closely as possible the LJ lay-out, but in DW? I'm aware of two resources:
Conversion Guide: Flexible Squares
http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Conversion_Guide:_Flexible_Squares
S2 CSS
http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/S2_CSS
( Custom CSS written for LJ )
Are these my best resources for doing a conversion? Is there another resource or write-up I should know? Any tips for a beginner CSS person? Am I completely missing something that I should know? :)
