Reworking Blogs

Blogs are something which are hardly used here, probably because of how convoluted and nasty the system is. But all the functionality is there. I want to look at how the system can be reskinned/themed to draw people into using it.

Here is how blogs currently look:

Current thoughts is like this, removing clutter and just reformatting it so you can tell what's actually going on here.

The actual blog roll skinning can come later.
 
About buttons btw.

I went with the colour scheme aaages ago but it works like this.

forum_unread.gif
Purple highlights new forum posts

button_newestfirst.png
Green highlights something you can read / go to

button_topic_new.gif
Orange highlights content you can create

Can change these at any time. Not sure.

I don't really want to reskin the forums as such, just tidy them up perhaps. I don't want to break a broken system and I love the forum theme.
