Interesting article. :) Thanks. I might have to have a go at it later. And as far as I am aware (unless my hosting provider has changed servers and not told anyone) it is running on Apache.

Seona There are a number of ways to do this - the easiest way to do it is by populating some <style> tags dynamically from data in the db using a script language such as CF or PHP etc (although that can add pageweight). Another way would be to save a css file on the server for each person and serve that up (ouch.. disk space). Yet another (and the best) would be to send the User Agent a stylesheet, as discussed over at the Sydney PHP Group (apologies for the crap colours/layout - I'm working on it :D ). Managing multiple sites under a single codebase <http://sydney.ug.php.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=70&start=0&postdays=0&posto rder=asc&highlight=> http://sydney.ug.php.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=70 I'd assume you are using CF under Windoze Server so I'm not sure if that has the flexibility an Apache config has?
