Nikos, I can help you a bit understanding the way the design is set up with insoshi. I think you'll actually find it pretty graceful.
Its important to understand blueprint when working with insoshi. Its actually a css framework, not just 3 arbitrary css files. Before you do anything with design in insoshi spend 15 minutes here learning about blueprint. http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss/ On Apr 25, 2008, at 1:30 PM, Michael Hartl wrote: > > I hate templating languages, too, and will do my utmost to keep them > out of Insoshi.
