Make your archive look better
The Instant Archive is pretty cool by default, but you can make it look even better. I was looking at Michael Verdi’s archive, which looks fantastic:
The archive Mefeedia builds is just a list of links and images, but you can change the way it looks by adding a stylesheet to your website. Every image in the Instant Archive has a class of mefeedia-thumb. If you add something like this to your stylesheet, you can change the look of the images.
.mefeedia-thumb {
margin: 25px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
You can play with the look: if you change the value of margin (for example, make it margin: 3px), you change the distance between the pictures. Change padding to change the distance between the image and the grey border. Change #CCCCCC to change the color of the border. And so on. If you’re a CSS expert, you can really go crazy.
Let me know if you make a cool stylesheet for the Instant Archive, and I’ll add a link here.See more in:No Tags

(that URL is actually my blog at http://wanderingsalsero.typepad.com )
I’m trying to do something like I saw on Ryannes blog but I’m wondering if it’s possibel when I use a ‘mixed media’ template from typepad. I haven’t asked them yet because it seems that every time I ask them something even slightly off-the-wall their stock answer is ‘we don’t support that’.
Meanwhile, I’m going to go ahead and get that code over on the mefeedia stie and paste it into a blog post like they said and see what happens.
If you’ve got the time and would be willing to call me it’s free with my toll free number at 1 877 356 0398 and I promise not to ask you a million questions.
Best regards,
