Entry tags:
a different S2 style question
I found the list of which styles support which features, where features of interest include showing user pics, changing font sizes, and (not explicitly on the list) seeing comments as threads rather than "flat". So far the least-bad alternative seems to be Punquin Elegant, which is what I'm currently using.
That's a two-column format, where the second column contains the default user pic and the links to user info, friends, and calendar. Some other styles put that at the top of the page, which is a much better use of space -- why should I give up 20% of the width all the way down to support a little blob of info at the top? A similar style, Flexible Squares, lets you get rid of that column, but it had some other major problem that I now can't remember. (Maybe that was the one where the lock icons on protected entries were too hard to see.)
The current style shows entry-specific user pics for each entry. Actually, all I want is for the assigned pic -- not the journal default -- to be shown when I click through to an individual entry. But it seems to be a package deal.
If I could take Punquin Elegant, move the links to the top of the page (like with Magazine -- which doesn't support changing fonts), and get rid of the second column entirely, I'd have everything I need. I didn't realize that wanting both a text-centric layout (no space-wasting frills) and user pics on individual entries was so unusual. Oh well. I don't think I'm ready to climb the S2 learning curve just now.
