Hi everyone, I'm using Ian's Thematic theme for my blog and sometimes I like to post short little updates rather than long posts. On ThemeShaper he files these under 'asides' and their automatically formatted so on the blog they appear with a left border, no title, no date and no by _____. I would love to get this for my blog. Can anyone help me out with this please? Maybe provide me with some CSS code?
Thanks, Elliot
It was Andy Skelton (co-creator of The Sandbox) who came up with that one first.
Although I currently use a somewhat modified technique …
body.home div.category-asides * {
display:inline;
}
body.home div.category-asides .entry-title,
body.home div.category-asides .entry-meta,
body.home div.category-asides .page-link {
display:none;
}
body.home div.category-asides {
margin:21px 0 42px 0;
padding:0 0 0 59px;
border-left:1px solid #e0e0e0;
}
body.home div.category-asides .entry-content {
margin:0;
}
body.home div.category-asides blockquote {
margin:0;
font-size:13px;
font-style:normal;
}
body.home div.category-asides .comments-link {
margin:0 0 0 .125em;
}

This was very helpful, along with Andy's post. Thank you for explaining how to do it.
But is there any way at all, CSS or otherwise, to get <p> and <blockquote> elements to break properly? Apparently I'm too verbose to fit into one paragraph. Thank you for your time, and for the great theme.
