My one complaint about Dreamwidth so far is the lack of ... just a simple, basic style. Somewhat akin to the Autumn style on LJ and the old S1 style it was based on. The simplest of LJ styles I liked just for that reason. It was simple and easy to read.
Dreamwidth has a lot of styles to choose from, but none are anywhere close to that simple style. So I picked one and, using the custom CSS option, began styling. It took a few hours of work, but what you see here is very close to that old S1 LJ style. I removed a lot of the extra crap ("display:none" is your friend) that clutters the look, leaving a very clean theme optimized for ease of reading.
I'm not entirely done yet (there are still some pages that need attention), but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
