Hi:
In one of our projects we had the need to use instances of Squishdot
but with the ability to modify the layout and design.
Since this was a pain (because Squishdot uses standard HTML tags
to do layout and design: stuff like <b>, <p>, <table>, etc) we created a
Z Class that "enveloped" all the Squishdot stuff in XML and DIV tags. With
this we are able to change layout and design quite easily by editing a CSS.
This "product" is available at
http://www.zope.org/Members/zorton/BlogDot/
BTW, you can check out the use we made of this product at
http://www.blogdot.org/
where you'll be able to generate endless Squishdot/Slashdot lookalikes :-)
When/If you create a blogdot, check out the source code of both the site
and its CSS to see the use we made of XML+CSS. Feel free to play around
with the layout/design editor.
Any testing/suggestions/critiques/bug reports are welcome :-)
C U!
