<div><b>Good People, it's time to decorate!</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It has become clear to me that Lively will only be a toy to many
people as long as it continues to look like geekware. There are
two things required to improve our look: artistic sense,
and a knack for CSS or similar controls. I have neither. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>But I have friends...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>All you lurkers out there: It's time to give Lively a few
minutes of your time</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>Choose
one or two web pages that you love, share the links with us,</div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>and say
what you like about them that's relevant to Lively</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>If you
happen to know CSS, please send along suggestions</div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>about
how you would most like to see it supported.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In the next day or two, we'll put a prototype page out in the
wiki that you can redecorate with your favorite style. That will
give us a sense of what's needed to get a decent range of style and
how to keep it lively.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It may seem stupid to spend time on appearance, but it could be
the most significant thing we do for support in the next couple of
months.</div>
