snippet: two controlstrip layouts
I've noticed quite a few people using dreamwidth layouts either imported from old livejournal code or newer insanejournal code. And one of the results of this is that the CSS that customizes the controlstrip navigation at the top of the page is either broken or non-existent. You can always disable the controlstrip to some degree using your account settings, and completely get rid of it with CSS, but I don't like to make that decision for the user. I personally use the controlstrip a lot when browsing dreamwidth!
So, I decided to whip up some basic controlstrip only CSS. It's at least slightly responsive (you can see the layout at kleptocratic for an example of how the code scales) and designed to be simple to customize to match a variety of layouts and aesthetics.
tutorial: custom dw navigation links
The default Dreamwidth navigation module has a lot of stuff in it that might not be relevant to how you use the site and your journal. While it is pretty easy to remove individual items using CSS, you can also customize your navigation menu using the S2 system, which allows you to add new links or change the order of the existing ones.
( code and breakdown behind the cut )Plurk Snippet, hiding ads
What it says on the tin, CSS to hide plurk ads on free accounts. Copy and paste this into your plurk stylesheet. Only works when your custom stylesheet is active, so not on the app, and usually not on mobile. Plurk jailbreak will probably help.
.ynative, .resp_banner_ads, .cbox_ads, div.adsense, section.adsense, section.adsense h3, div.cbox_adsx, #resp_banner_ads
{ display : none !important; height: 0 !important; width: 0 !important; overflow: hidden;_overflow: none; position: fixed; top: -9000px; filter: alpha(opacity=0) !important; opacity: 0 !important; }
I will try to keep this updated, as plurk changes its code periodically.
Edit: Also available as a stylish script, if you can't use the chrome extension.
Plurk Layout: “Galaxias”
Many years ago there were several stylesheets available for customizing plurk layouts. That all changed when plurk upgraded and broke everything. Galaxias is a layout that will work with plurk that is, instead of plurk that was.
( code and variations below the cut )Permissions Post: “Licentia”
This is a pretty simple permissions code using the details
tag. It's styled as a permissions post, but could pretty easily be used as a muselist or character profile.
OOC Permissions
Backtagging / Y/N.
Fourthwalling / Y/N.

Plurk Snippet, username labels
This is something I did at the request of jeeps, an update to the CSS tweak that lets you add a label to a plurk username that appears when you hover over a link. Useful for keeping track of your plurk friends who change their username frequently!
Profile sheet: “Cato”
Feel free to modify this however you like, and follow me at vigils for more coding.
Snippet: Really Simple Muselist
This is just a really simple snippet you can use for a muselist or whatever else. You can see another version of this code here at my personal musebox.
