Hi, so I'm trying to figure out how to do post layouts. I'm trying to use a <style> tag since I can't even begin to figure out inline styles (I basically know no HTML, only CSS for stuff like Stylus), but I'm clearly having difficulties here... the biggest problem is that I think I'm trying to theme the wrong things...? I'm trying to theme general elements that just end up hitting the site body and such without actually theming the post itself... I have no idea what I'm actually supposed to be doing with this. Here's the stuff I put together anyway... I really have no idea what I need to change to have this theme the actual post

Here's the HTML/CSS I have:

<style>
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto|Roboto+Mono');

body {
font-size: 14;
margin: 24px;
font-family: Roboto, Verdana;
background: #212121;
}

.fonts {
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Roboto, Verdana, sans-serif;
color: rgba(255,255,255,0.60);
}

blockquote {
margin: 16px 0px;
border-left: 2px solid #FF4081;
padding: 12px 24px 8px 24px;
background-color: #424242;
border-radius: 2px;
}

blockquote>hr {
border-width:0;
margin: 4px 0px
}

a {
color: #FF80AB;
}

a:visited {
color: #FF4081;
}

code {
font-family: 'Roboto Mono', monospace;
}
</style>

Note that I run this through a minify tool which strips out the line breaks and such before I use this on the site, so ignore those.

I just feel super confused by this... I'd really appreciate any help in figuring out how to make this work as a post layout

You'll want to put your post into a container, and then only apply the style to said container - or at least that's what I do and it works, I don't really know if there's another way.

For example, make all your style bits only apply to elements of a certain ID, say #shiningwing-post { ... } or whatever, then put the <style> block into the post header, then open a <div> with the ID you specified, hence ex. <div id="#shiningwing-post"> - don't close it here yet. Put the closing </div> tag into the footer/signature, that'll wrap your post in the container and, because of the ID, only apply the style to that instead of the whole page.

Practical example, my layout as of right now:



I hope that helps and made sense? Tho I'm not too great with HTML and CSS myself ^^"

It doesn't even matter if there is no hope, as the madness of the system grows

That's exactly what I needed to know, thanks a bunch! It seems to be working just fine now~ ♥

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
