seems to me that changes in "preferences" (color of text and links, size of text-font etc.) are not saved anymore (?)

I implemented the new story and comment skins here on project.antville.org. What do you think? Do we need more space between stories on the front page?

seems to be down at the moment. ("Request timed out.") Or is it just my internet?

nevermind this beautiful song from "the sparks" but am I the only one who is one hour ahead?

I played around with the Antville default skins and came up with what I think is a better text layout. But since these things tend to be subjective, I thought I ask what to do. The picture on the side compares a current vanilla CVS Antville site and one with my mods. Here's a list of changes:

1. Site title style takes the color set for title in preferences. This was hard-coded to orange so far.
2. There is slightly more space between author/date, title and text. This is achieved using line-height style attributes.
3. line-height for normal text is is slightly streched to 120%
4. Distance to the "link/edit" line at the bottom is significantly reduced, but there's still an offset to the text. As far as I can tell, this is also much less susceptible to the "end of blockquote-gap"
5. commentcount macro takes additional "innerprefix" and "innersuffix" options which allow to add to the text within the link, so it's possible to have one unified "link (x comments)" link

i just updated helma and antville on my server, but all i see is "The server encountered an error while processing your request. Please check back later." is this a helma or a tomcat error code? where should i look into first? i tried helma in stand-alone mode and it worked, but i can't get it to run behind that tomcat. any help is appreciated.

What appkey should one use for antville? Does antville support all methods of the Blogger API or only some?

A brief documentation of the supported functions would be great. Or is there one already, somewhere?

thx.
