I totally appreciate complete focus on content.But is there any specific reason that people would not want to use any form of templating/styling?

This is a genuine question and not sarcasm.I have seen this sort of styling on several sites which excel in material provided.

EDIT: I do love the content.Gonna be trying this this weekend

From the other perspective, I was just about to say "thank you for the plain HTML".

So much easier to read than the trend of #CCC on #FFF...

I wish more sites were plain html. You can do better, but it's easy to do a lot worse, to the point of unreadability.

I also hate the grey-on-grey, so I made a chrome extension to change it to black-on-white: https://github.com/bentrevor/emblacken. I found a gist with the js and de-obfuscated about half of it. It works on almost all sites.

Chrome lets you set keyboard shortcuts to run extensions, so I press it once to change to black text, and again to use a white background.

The website is under construction, I haven't gotten around to styling it yet. Any suggestions on what it should look like?

If you look at the homepage I have the skeleton of a layout and styling there: http://jdpressman.com/

There are some html syntax errors in the (caveman2:make-project) line. :)

Yeah I haven't figured out how to fix those yet. I'd be happy to when I do. They're also ruining my Unix V7 tutorial.

Are you using Markdown to generate those HTML files?
Re:How to Set Up a Common Lisp Web Environment by unimpressive on Saturday December 05, 2015 @05:54AM (#10681535)
Yes, and you asking the question managed to be enough for me to diagnose the issue, thanks.

Just don't force the background to bright white please.

Maybe it's not a coincidence.

I have ideas for things to write but I never finish them because I am so bad at styling a web page and never get them close to decent looking. So this is much better.
