Wikidot: CSS Per Category Posted 04 Feb 2012 07:23
Something that's slightly annoying about Wikidot is that when it comes to creating new pages that previously didn't exist, the Live Template isn't taken into account. That is, if you use the CSS module in the Live Template, then that isn't applied to the page until after you save the page. All proceeding edits work fine, but the initial edit doesn't look how it's supposed to.

My inbox had was intended to have this interesting life cycle:
- Recieve mail;
- Sort mail into folders.
But unfortunately, that didn't quite happen. Day after day my poor inbox is poluted with junk mail after junk mail. And I'm not talking about the kind from spam companies — I'm talking about the ones from my family and friends.
Now I don't mind the funny joke e-mails (in small doses), or the occasional "amazing photo" e-mail. It's just the chain e-mails that hooligans start up to create panic amongst ignorant computer users.
