Add .plate for footer

[ForNeVeR]

Currently footer looks so lonely on some of the pages :(

I think we should add class="plate" for it. Something like that:

But:

• fix the vertical align (one of the toughest problems in CSS ever)

• right padding

• restyle that RSS icon maybe? I'm thinking about something like that but no so shitty as in my pic:
  

  The point is that is should have zero padding and be integral part of our "plate" line.

What would you guys say?

If you put the footer onto a plate, there will be a number of negative consequences:

• the plate will draw unnecessary attention to the footer;
• since page links aren't on a plate, they will become a bit obscure;
• the end of the page won't be much different from the contents of the page, which is… bad style, I guess. I don't have anything to back this one up, though (other than my taste).

I vote either not to change anything, or to put both page links and footer onto plates (two separate ones). This, at least, will give the page consistency in style.

I guess you haven't seen how footer looks on new quote page. Just look at this! http://loglist.net/quote/new

But yeah, we really should think about placing the page links to a plate or highlighting them in some another way.

Oh. Yep, that's positively ugly. But in this case, I'd also put the form onto a plate.

Also it doesn't look too bad even if we highlight only the footer. Check the visual of this:

In my opinion, it does look bad. The footer draws attention, page links are now disregarded just like +/- buttons are. The eyes will just skip anything that isn't on a plate. Don't do that.
