Ooooo!! I like that !! ROTFLOL!!

Thanks for all your kind comments.

Don't give up on it--surely there are enough people who would love it. I would, and I'm in my fifties!

Maybe I'll do that. I still haven't found where I sign up at Mozilla.org to upload it and so people can download it securely and keep it updated. Since I only write Javascript, I never have registered as a Mozilla developer so maybe that's how you get access. I can't even find where you go on Mozilla.org to upload a new extension.

If I can locate where to upload it at Mozilla, maybe I'll offer it in a few weeks. I made a list of your names. I do still have some bugs to swat though. I recently implemented the full stylesheet_service for Mozilla but it hasn't solved all the issues yet. Like my control over which pages get applied styles is not yet granular enough (some pages at FR get styled though I don't want them styled). More research needed since I want something that isn't hackish but I do concede I may not know enough rocket science to resolve them all.

As for the easier stuff like IFRAMEing excerpted articles and embedding YouTubes, I have Greasemonkey script for that and might offer it if anyone is interested. The YouTubeing stuff is especially easy.

There are a variety of earlier screenshots at a GeoCities site I keep: GeoCities - FRstyle

It also has a link at the bottom to the original stylesheet project here at FR, where JohnRob experimented with letting users upload their own custom stylesheets to use here. Screenshots as well as the stylesheets we were using. Nice idea but JohnRob apparently decided it was more trouble than it was worth and that too few users were interested. You'll see a few references in your profile settings that no longer work but they tie directly to that effort back in 2001.

‘Conservatives have paid a price for being inattentive to candidate recruitment and what’s actually going on at the county committee level. In effect, we allowed the unchecked rise of machine operators like Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, and John Doolittle who sacrificed conservative principle for back-scratching enrichment.’

Speak for yourself in this regard, kristinn. Many of us here in Ohio for example, rebelled last year against the GOP Country Club Republicans, and were trashed in this and a couple of other conservative forums for doing so.

I was told repeatedly I had to support the Ohio GOP, even though it was corrupt from top to bottom ‘because Nancy Pelosi will become Speaker of the House! Harry Reid will become Senate Majority Leader!’ by straight ticket Republicans.

I’ve often asked in this forum, and others ‘when is it okay to fire a Republican’...and the overwhelming majority of the time the answer was ‘in the primaries’....(eyes rolling).

Some of us did in fact ‘act’...and we’re flamed for doing so here at FR.

What a shame you persist in this delusion that you own your own vote and that you actually are voting for the person you cast your ballot for.

Ah....riiiight.

Let me guess, its all Diebold’s doing?

Puleeze.

[George W. Bush]

hint: I was being sarcastic.

BTW, Diebold spun off its elections machines into a separate company, desperately trying to sell it before all the lawsuits get filed. Much the same with that Sierra bunch too. No one will touch purchasing them with a ten foot pole. So Diebold no longer makes voting machines itself. A wholly owned company now separate from Diebold does. Initial lawsuits against both companies are expected in excess of $100 million.

I know...and I know.

Have a great evening, gettin out a bit early.

Bengals v Ravens....must see TV round these parts!

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Yep! Huckabee said it right - America comes before the party. But .. to the dems - the party is all there is.

Even moreso, LIFE comes before politics -- for normal people.
