[thesite] An idea regarding article submissions

[Joshua Olson]

Michelle, you said.

: Add CSS to an individual article?  How's that going to work with the user
: defined  (or selected) CSS files?  What might look good now, may not look
: good with other CSS files.  What happens if an attribute conflicts with
what
: is in use in the current CSS?
:
: I realize there will be an option for Admin to fix any possible conflicts,
: but isn't that putting a bit too much added responsibility on Admin?  Who
: has time to check that the additions/changes made by the author still
: maintain browser degradability to the same high standard already in place?
:
: I don't think we're ready for this ..

Indeed, a very good point.  A possible solution, however unpopular, is to
change the currently used stylesheet so that the naming conventions are
completely, well, unconventional.  Such as prefix every class with evolt_ or
something, create classes for H# (and all other tags used in the site) in
css and go through the entire site and add the class to every instance.
YUCK!

You're right, CSS could turn into a nightmare.  Therefore, -1 on CSS.

However, +1 on JS, -1 on Meta tags... though, here's a though.

If we do this change, why not automagically change the description and
keywords on the article display page to reflect what's actually in the
article rather than the default:

description: "A world community for web developers, evolt.org promotes the
mutual free exchange of ideas, skills and experiences."

keywords: "web, internet, design, technology, interface, multimedia, script,
commentary, hardware, software, articles, news"

Just my 2c.
