[geeklog-devel] Non table layout (was Geeklog 1.9.0 or Geeklog 2.0.0?)

[Tom]

At some point in the future I plan on adding caching of css files to the
Geeklog scripts class. This way the entire sites css files (plugins, etc)
will be compressed and cached along with a themes.

Yoshinori Tahara decreases the number of HTTP request by combining all CSS
files into one by the theme designer's hand, while Rouslan does so by
merging all CSS files on the server-side (PHP).  The ways look different,
but what is done is similar.  So, which is the more suitable for encouraging
theme designers to create a new work?  I mean "theme designers" are ones who
don't know much about PHP.  I am not a theme designer, so I don't know the
answer.  However, it is important whether theme designers, not developers,
feel it easy to produce a new theme.

As for Rouslan's way, why don't you use tools to optimize CSS and JavaScript
files, such as minify[1]?  You should do minify CSS files better and cache
them on the **server** side.
