Discussing the Gmane hierarchy

Design competition

It's about time to get serious with the blog CSS, so I thought I'd
leave it up to all y'all.

Here's how to design Gmane:

1) First download the template CSS that has all the classes that are
   used: 

   <URL: http://gmane.org/download_css.php>

2) Put it on your own web server somewhere.

3) Paste the URL of your CSS into the box that says "Paste the URL of
   your CSS below"

4) Play around with the design until it's beautiful and stuff.
   You may add colors, background images, move stuff around, whatever.

5) Mail me the URLs of your design, and I'll add it to the list of
   CSS files in the "Design" box, and people can have a look at them.

6) The winner will...  er...  I don't know.  Will be happy?

Oops... Just wanted to suggest one thing for the possible design...

comments.gmane.org looks nice IMHO, with the indentation as it's now. However,
just one point more:

in blog conventions (or so, if they are any), one expects that in a thread or
main message followed by its comments, the first title has a bigger type than
the comments following. In blog.gmane.org all subject lines are rendered
equal... But in comments.gmane.org perhaps the first thread initial subject
deserves another class, h2, css div or whatever to distinguish it.

Just a suggestion.

Ok; I've made the first article on comment pages use h2.
