Style compatability with older browsers

[smilingslightly]

Can anyone point me to some resources for making one's style play well with older browsers? Is there an open community that I've missed where it's appropriate to discuss style tips and tricks?

I'm using a Mixit-based theme that, I've been told, is unreadable in some older browsers. I'd like to continue using the style but I'd also like to make it easier for people to read what I post. (And here I want to express my thanks to the Dw folks for putting those style=mine links in the nav bar to facilitate just that.)

I'm a style n00b. Though I've played with CSS on websites, I'm still finding LJ-type style code seriously confusing.

Especially since it will available to all users, not just paid ones, as opposed to the method you linked to ( even though there's a bug making advanced available to all users for now).

Ah, so that's why I still have access to advanced customization. I thought maybe Dw was playing it differently than LJ because I didn't see anything about customization in the user levels FAQ, except for the bit about mood themes.

Exactly and so I thought that too! But a volunteer told me it had been reported and corrected but that it wasn't live yet.
