WordPress.org

The default stylesheet sucks. Why don't you make it better

I suck at design. If you have any ideas for a good default look, let me know and I'll implement them

Forget that! How do I format the output to fit my own blog

I've used various css class on the elements that exist

• Use the class backlinks_title to format the title link.
• Use the class morelink to format the "more results" link.
• Use the
  class dates to format the list
• Use the class date to format the date of each link

I don't get it. What is a backlink and why do I need it?

Can't you read the google description? Sigh Ok, a backlink is basically another blog linking directly to your article. Since not all blogs send trackbacks, you wordpress blog does not always know who is responding to, or commenting on your posts. Sure, you might be able to see it in your dashboard but that's just you. Also, since google filters out splogs from the blog search, it's a nice spam-free option to have.

You can also use it if you've disabled trackbacks or if you prefer all your incoming links to be shown in the same place.

I want/need so-and-so feature

Patches are welcome and I'm always open to more developers who want to join. I'm learning as I go so I don't know if I'll be able to do it myself or when.
