Slashdot revolutionises (almost)

By Usayd

Shock horror:

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!

Anyone who reads slashdot news (generally geekazoids) will know that an actual inclination to changing the design of the website after, as the article says, 8 Years is one hell of a big deal. If you get something listed on Slashdot its extremely likely to go down with an overhaul of traffic and you’ll be famous for ever (not quite), but anyway I sure do hope they get this CSS up ASAP because i’m getting sick of Slashdot’s current vomit style theme emoticon
