Is it just me or does the Firefox 3 Beta 4 splash site look somewhat sad?
Maybe it’s the background, the cheesy “Welcome to” header or the sci-fi nipples hanging off the bottom box that I don’t like…
Agree or disagree?

Textpattern How To: Add Dynamic Body Classes to Your TXP Theme
04 Mar 08
Being able to dynamically generate and call data is one of the greatest things about building a site with a content management system. Why should the power of a CMS engine be limited to storing, retrieving and displaying content? Why not also use this engine to generate classes within your HTML that can also may your site’s design dynamic?
When I began working on designing a theme for Textpattern, I was heavily influenced by my previous work with the Sandbox WordPress theme. The dynamically generated semantic classes made things possible only using CSS that required editing the HTML/PHP template files before.

ThemeShaper – The Ultimate WordPress Theme Test
23 Feb 08
While I am not currently using WordPress, I thought I would try out Ian’s suggestion of hiding everything aside from the content on this post’s page.
I wanted to do this for a while now, I just had to get my dynamic body classes working correctly with TXP.
That’s right, I want you to hide everything non-essential, everything pretty, everything distracting, every single little bit of stuff, with
display:none. What’s left? Content. Make it readable and you’ve made it beautiful. Make it beautiful and people will read it.
If you are reading this on the homepage, you will have to look at the post’s page. If you are reading this from the post’s page a refresh may be required to get the full experience.
What do you guys think?
