4 WIP layouts for feedback

...because posting these publicly will give me some motivation, and I could use feedback on some of them *g*

Baroque
Notes: An attempt at an elegant one-column default layout.
Issues: Needs the top image flipped, and a nice little scrolly image seperator between entries. I'm also thinking about switching more of the text to serif default and adding a fancy intial capital for entries. Also needs to be fiddled with in two-column/three-column modes.

Corinthian
Notes: Inspired by a preview pic I saw on [community profile] dreamwidthlayouts (though entirely my own code). Fairly simple Crisped mod to have the header be part of the sidebar, and make the background areas solid (I love solid background areas. See Marginless and Heads Up XD).
Issues: Uh, none that I know of. But I did code this at two am today. Possibly needs a rename (I was going 'I need something more interesting that 'Columns'...)

Fly Away
Notes: A sanctioned port of a custom LJ layout. Started out because I wanted the same layout for a journal I moved over *g*
Issues: Fixed-width at the moment, but I think I figured out how to change that. The original layout removed the header - I'm not sure how to add it back in attractively. Also not sure how I feel about the arrangement of entry footer stuff.

Rising
Notes: [personal profile] rising's design, my code :)
Issues: Relative positioning with em-units leads to rounding errors. I think thicker borders will hide that and keep the dreaded 1px gap at bay? Secondary pages need some padding to make up for lack of icon.
