I managed to build a master template yesterday that is template-free. It renders nicely on IE5.5 Mac (OSX) as well as Netscape 4.7 (Solaris). That checks two extremes of the browser spectrum; it should render cleanly everywhere.
I need to remake a few other templates to get this completely CSS-free; I’m not sure about all the editor pages (where entries are created, etc.); I’ll have to test that later.
The good thing about this is that I can integrate the dynamic stuff (“Most recently updated, etc.”) directly into the master template; every new weblog on the site will be consistent and ready-to-roll. Furthermore I can easily keep the master blog templates consistent with the main site template. This will probably drift in the future, but for now I can keep fairly tight integration.
