Help Beta Test Slashdot CSS
After almost 8 years, Slashdot's HTML is finally getting an overhaul. For now the changes are almost entirely under the hood, as we migrate the current skin to CSS. Slashdot itself will migrate in the next few weeks, but for now, we'd appreciate it if people who understand CSS could take a look at Slashcode. If you use a browser that lets you select a stylesheet, you can take a look at that site with the Slashdot CSS Skin. Keep in mind that Slashcode doesn't look exactly like Slashdot, so there will be some differences between that site, and the final version that will appear on Slashdot. We're mainly looking for feedback on compatibility issues and blatant bugs. You can use our our SF bug tracker to submit bug reports. Thanks for your help. Once we move Slashdot, work will begin on a new look & feel. If you have ideas, you could start playing with the CSS stylesheets now!

What is a HTML?

You can say that again.
You probably shouldn't click this.
Slashdot going to CSS? Has hell frozen over!? Windows gone GPL!? What's next?
Doesn't everyone on Slashdot use IE?
(sorry)
See my journal for slashdot ID's by year. Mine created in 2005. http://slashdot.org/journal/289875/slashdot-ids-by-year
It looks like /. has been slashdotted (slashdotti?).
I don't read your sig. Why are you reading mine?

I tested the CSS version with wget and it looks good ... ;-)
Come with a spell checker for submitters?
I vote for the entire site to be made in Shockwave. CSS is for suckers.
Duke Nukem Forever is just about to be released too!
No, the new site design is just a blank gray window with a never-ending browser status animation culminating in a message box that says "Host unavailable". I bet that only took three lines of CSS code.

Slashcode has been slashdotted!
For all those wishing to read the original article, the contents have been replicated in a modified format here.
Considering the fact that the Slashcode servers are now a pile of smoldering ash, I'm guessing they haven't saved much bandwidth
Damn,
It's getting cold down here.

The hip way to get your IP. No ads, ever.
Thank goodness everyone's customers use standards compliant browsers. Whew! Your theory would be totally ridiculous if they didn't.

Web Design Tips
My bet is that they rewrote slash in Ruby on Rails, and as a result it actually takes negative storage space. slashcode isnt realy slashdotted, the extra hard drives that are popping out of that server have knocked out the ethernet line....
I tried this and it seems to be kicking out quite a few duplicate stories. Is that normal?

seriously though, this is a good thing, hopefully this will allow for user-chosen themes, etc. and way to get http://it.slashdot.org/ to not look like baby poo.

Sounds like the Slashdot main page got hacked, adding this artcle with a link to harvest Slashdot logins. B-)
a,e,i,o,u and sometimes w and y (at be if of up cwm by)
You would think Cmdr Taco would know enough about the /. effect that he wouldn't inflict it upon his own servers. He must be some kind of masochist!
Remember: this calculation is based on the number of pages served as of 13 June, 2000. I believe that Slashdot's traffic is much heavier now, but even using this three-year-old figure, the money saved is impressive.
Welcome to 2005.
Your sig(k) has been stolen. There is a puff of smoke!
Add to that the fact that Slashdot is moving to css, Apple using Intel, Apple Shipping 2 Button Mice, Debian 3.1 was released and this year seems to be turning into be the pivotal point for hell to hold the winter olympics.

Hey that guy has a website on the Internet he must be right
mstyne: real name, no gimmicks
No WML. Less styles than CSS Zen Garden. Lame.
Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
No, you're a sex bot.
Here we are at the apocalypse, and we still never got to play Duke Nukem Forever.
Yeah, I went there.
Don't blame me, I voted for Baltar.
Since the site is slashdotted, here's the article text (it's funny, laugh!)

Sorry - I'm not allowed to show you any more because it violats the posting filter. Stay tuned for the next exciting installment.
Nah, we're all still on Mosaic. Slashdot is the only site we can still visit coincidentally, and the lack of flash support means we don't have to read MS adverts ontop of Linux articles.
