  1. Liftweb CSS Selectors and implicits

    When using Ruby, i found myself frequently making things like formatting methods to display a variety of things.

    Since i published println, i've had a hand full of people asking me, why it is so minimalistic, why i didn't implement more options and so on. Since most of the people were open to my view of things, i wanted to write a bit about it, so people don't get the wrong impression.
