views

To take one view and make it look like another can be pretty trivial. 

Let's call them "old style view" and "new style view". 

In my case, most of the presentational work of both views was being done with custom text, which means that I was bringing the fields in earlier in the view, but excluding them from displaying. Then, I used the tokens created by the view of those excluded fields in a custom text field, wrapping them in tags and classes that made sense.
