11. • Questions about Custom Elements?
• If you have any suggestions for new
custom elements please let me know.

12. New Templates
• Until now, our CommonSpot templates
have been table based
– Hampers use of CSS to style pages
– Makes site-wide modification of pages
difficult
– Makes modifying site appearance almost
impossible.

13. New Templates
• Starting Monday, October 22
– CSS based templates
– More control over pages styling
– Easier to change entire site by changing
one file without having to rebuild all the
pages.

14. Effects:
• Will not change any existing pages or
templates.
• Can continue to make pages from
existing table based templates.
