CSS

The CSS file that controls how your links look lives in slashlinks/public/stylesheets/frontend.css

Templates

The templates that determine how your links will be displayed are locaed in the SlashLinks program directory.

slashlinks/app/views/link

Here HTML, CSS, and some Ruby code determine how the data will be rendered when viewed by a web browser. There's plenty of room for reconfiguration and design here. The template basics are outlined below.

List Template (list.rhtml)
This template handles the display of the root link directory.

Tag Template (tag_list.rhtml)
This template handles the display of the tags/ directory.

Archive Template (archive_list.rhtml)
This template handles the display of the archive/ directory.

_links.rhtml partial template
All the pages that display individual links are rendered according to this template.
