Its a nonsense term invented by the Big Four and reeks of arrogance, the idea that there is one Supreme "ne plus ultra" method, which of course they will show you after you've paid them much dollars. However there are many exceedingly good and exceedingly efficacious practices. And yes, we should put more of them in the Wiki. My layouts look something like this: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en"> Well, that could even be a snippet, couldn't it?

[Radiant] Conditional Tags
Hello, I've got a question regarding conditional tags. There are two things I would like to do: 1. In my Normal layout I use the page title as h1 element (sometimes as a link, sometimes as just a heading). However, I wish _not_ to have a h1 title on the home page only. I am not sure how to achieve this. On the wiki, I've seen an example: which matches the home page -- just not sure how to use it Currently in Normal Layout I have: Furthermore, using the above, when I go to archives, I get all the posts' titles but not a general %Y Archives heading. 2. There are a few styles I would like to apply to a certain page -- but I don't want to create another layout just for one page. I would prefer to be able to add a class to the body element instead and to be able to be more specific in my css. For example: if page_id = some_number add class="some_class" end or if page_title = some_title add class="some_class" end Could you suggest best practice to achieve the above?
