Re: [Slashcode-general] Slash for blogs

[Eric D. <eri...@ja...>]

I for one would like to see some CSS support. I think there was some 
talk about this a while ago, but, like most things we talk about in 
slash, it didn't get acted upon.

Like CSS support that is updated in the CVS. It would be nice to get rid 
of those lame ass little gif files.....
