webeng: template team: syndication buckets and CSS: overview

The cascading nature of style sheets will be employed to specify unique colors for individual channels. The "main" stylesheet for the brand (listen or whomever) will be included at the top of each page template (HTML+JSP) as usual:
<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="<%= styleSheet %>">
To set unique channel colors, the required CSS properties will be redefined in another style sheet, and included on the page template:
<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="<%= styleSheet %>">
<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="partner_name+channel.css">
Therefore, the channel-specific style sheet will contain a subset of the main style sheet, and the declarations contained within will override those in the main file. Specific channel style-sheets will provide unique colors for each.
