Revision as of 21:02, 30 January 2009

Please note that this isn't a definitive list, but a list of possibilities. There are four different kinds of layouts, listed in order of consideration priority:

  1. use only CSS and aren't official LJ styles
  2. use tables and aren't official LJ styles
  3. use only CSS and are official LJ styles
  4. use tables and are official LJ styles

We really want to avoid #4 and concentrate the most on #1. Also keep in mind that these styles will not be just the same as they were on LJ when ported--we are standardizing features and other parts of these layouts. We are focusing on making sure all layouts have needed features more than on making specific layouts you are familiar with on LJ available.
