I have finally got the whole site into one consistent style sheet. This required far more effort than it should have.
The main problem is that I have three different things I need to integrate.
The blog is fairly straight forward and has it's own internal system for these things. However to make my normal pages use the same layout I need to figure out what it is doing and suck it all into my own header and footer which is almost identical to the serendipity code, but with the minor difference that it shouldn't display blog entries. This header and footer is then used to make my wiki content management stub.
The wiki uses vanilla and I can't put php dynamic content into the self-describing template (I can put REBOL in however), which means I have to copy the bloody static output and add that as the header. This header is different to the normal layout as it has wiki blocks and not my normal blocks. However the bar at the top is common and I can't dynamically include it.
This means that if I want to change the name of an item at the top bar I have to edit it in three places. That sucks.
On the up side, adding new pages is easier now that I have a wiki stub for this site. Also the entire page is in a consistent style and any changes to the blocks on the side (e.g. categories, syndication, blogroll) will be done throughout the page (except the wiki, but that's on purpose).
I also realised that my wiki accepts normal html and updated Daniela and my wiki entries.
