Kind of a half-baked idea: have any of you tried generalising the various random functions floating around? (userpics, background images, I have one for a fortune cookie saying)

I'm thinking about having something in the wizard for "random ______" and the user fills in what they want randomised and the elements...

I'm so pleased this community has been resurrected. To start the ball rolling:

( curiosity about printing HTML )

It's been a little over a year now since we shut down this community, and the time has come to revive it. s2practice is open again, with a new purpose.

Although there are a lot of communities out there for S2, this one is still geared toward support volunteers, though we are not restricting participation to only those involved with support.

Tutorial 3: Creating a Very Simple Layout.

The community is being revived to go over LiveJournal-specific S2!

Karl and I will start on presenting info this week. :)
