I was fussing around with the new lj skin and ended up accidentaly changing my styles, and now can't get it back. Is it now impossible to have different styles for recent entries and friends page?

Oh, and did I mention I think geochemistry is going to be fun? I was doing my reading last night, and the author keeps mentioning these little anecdotes, and I think, "Why was that worth emphasizing?" and then I look again and go "ohhh."

Like:"At Gamow's suggestion, Hans Bethe's name was added 'in absentia,' thus creating the famous triumvirate Alpher, Bethe, and Gamow."

Or the quote from Sir Arthur Eddington: "We do not argue with the critic who urges that the stars are not hot enough for this process [proton-proton fusion]; we tell him to go and find a hotter place."

Yes, I think it will be a fun class.

Are you using S2?
If so, then technically you have to use the same style engine for everything, but you can tweak the code that generates the HTML so that it does creates differently styled pages depending on whether you're looking at your recent entries page or friends page.
You can even have it generate a page using a random style if you code it in (although something like this has more overhead as you can't reuse functions as easily.)

...Unfortunately, all this requires having a paid account, which you don't seem to have.

No, I don't have a paid account at the moment.

I think I *was* on S1, but it does not seem to be an option anymore.

Oh, it sounds like a very fun class. Here's a site you might enjoy, if you don't have it bookmarked already: the (in)famous science jokes website.
