I kinda fell in love with Radiant in the past few days (evaluating it) so it will be a pleasure. Be patient, because I’m still studying hard for college. A week from now and I’ll get to it. ---

I just don’t get a site-wide css working with the possibilties radiant offers. How it works with a static css file is clear to me. Can someone give me a little more help 🙂 ? Thanks, Tino ---

Create a temporary Radiant instance and when you run script/setup\_db select option 3 (styled blog). This seems to do what you are asking for. HTH, Tom ---

Given the difficulty of keeping the stylesheet out of the navigation (when working with r:children:each) if you put your CSS in the database, moving the stylesheet out of Radiant seems like the best practice to me, no?

What’s the > meaning of the current ‘hidden’, BTW? I agree we should have a status of “special” or something like that for stylesheets and content that would not be included by default in eachlistings and similar. Not every content is going to be a regular page. Giovanni, having that would save you a “no-map” hack 🙂 -M ---

I know that something like that would save a hack, but I’m starting to think that page parts should be naturally used to describe attributes of the page. 2006/9/25, Mislav MarohniÄ? [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---

Funny. I always thought that page parts should be naturally used to hold parts of the page. What next, you will need revision date attribute besides published date and you will start creating page parts everywhere holding a timestamp and being named ‘revision date’?
