Flexible Drupal Theming With Tapestry
RoopleTheme have released Tapestry, a very flexible theme for the Drupal content management system. The tableless design validates against XHTML and CSS specifications and also performs well in Accessibility Valet tests. When properly configured Tapestry will not only give sites good browser compatibility, but can also comply with Section 508 web accessibility guidelines.

Tapestry comes with 20 pre-built styles that can be used as is, or used to provide a starting point for a custom style sheet. It also comes with a very flexible set of layouts for 2, 3 and 4 column displays.

Even greater flexibility is given by the Block Theme module that site administrators can use to apply a custom themes to any block on the site.

While the template itself gives an easy mix and match approach to site design, it also acts as a solid starting point for additional CSS development, inspiration for which can be taken from some of RoopleTheme’s designs for dooce and 43 folders.

You’re giving advice, but you don’t even know the difference between “loosing” and “losing.”
I guess that makes you a “looser.”

Hi Al,
50% fail.
Loose isn’t lose, but there again neither is site sight. Poetic types tend to intend homophones and even resort to asinine assonances.
For bonus points tell me the source of this quotation.
