Custom CSS Bookmarklet Maker

Sometimes we get email notified of a comment made on a post old enough to be burried in the archives. I wanted to make sure the latest comment to this post was revealed to our readers, so I'm posting it anew.

CSS insert bookmarklet generator sam–i–am’s bookmarklet dynamically inserts a link to a CSS file into the head of the current document, and the identical code can be used to add in any CSS file, including one that colors DIVs. To reduce load and allow for the most customization, the CSS file should be on your local machine... therefore I created a little server–side script to generate a bookmarklet (based off of sam–i–am’s “Show Tables” bookmarklet) to link to a specific client–side stylesheet. I’ve included CSS to show nested DIVs – the nesting is all in the CSS and not in the bookmarklet itself. (via Phalen of geke.net)

I’m thinking that this site could use a short list of the most recent comments, as one currently has no easy way of knowing when a comment is added to older posts – like for instance Jessie from squarefree has supplied two powerful bookmarklets from the squarefree bookmarklet site, to be found at the bottom of the long list of comments to the show divs post.

What is there was something like Steven Garrity’s Acts of Volition. I think he has a cool active conversation area on the top left of his site.

Or you can use this to make a user style sheet bookmarklet that contains the CSS instead of loading it from a URL: http://www.squarefree.com/userstyles/make-bookmarklet.html
