bedeviled mojo slop

At the moment I'm updating blojsom's administration console with a new look and feel. It's sexy, but that's besides the point.

What's really sexy is the fact that all of my edits are being done from the blog's templates directory. I don't even have to touch the actual administration console pages in CVS until I'm ready to commit all of the new pages into CVS. blojsom's templating system allows me to override any or all of the packaged templates. So, page-by-page, I'm making my edits in my blog and testing to make sure everything looks and acts correctly. If there's a page I haven't started yet, blojsom just uses the one that's already packaged.

All of this can, of course, be done on a per-blog basis. So, let's say I had 6 blogs running on an installation of blojsom. Conceivably, there could be 6 entirely different look and feels for the administration console. Entirely different could mean each page has been tweaked or just a subset of the pages could be different.

This also applies to other packaged templates like the template used for comment and trackback e-mail messages. Don't like the default one that comes with blojsom? Override it and add, edit, remove any information you want from the template.
