A Fresh Look

If you are reading this via the feed, you might want to hop on over to the site and check out the new theme. I thought it was time for something that was a bit more simple, yet eye-catching. I think this theme works well. It’s very simple, minimal image usage, yet at the same time it’s very elegant and professional looking. I have been modifying it a little, adding the recent comments plugin to the sidebar, as well as a link to the feeds. I’ve also changed the way the theme handled the title of the site and page/post. The other way seemed a bit backwards to me putting the page name/post name before the site name, e.g. About Me-piece of shep instead of piece of shep- About Me. Also, the sidebar is not widgetized yet. I was thinking of widgetizing it but I think that would just spell trouble because I’ll just continue to add more and more stuff to the sidebar and the goal here is for simplicity. I think I may keep this theme for a while.

    I’ve been testing the same Blue Zinfandel theme (but 3 columns) you’re using at your blog, but faced up with such problem: the middle column keeps breaking when the browser window is shrunk down past the minimum width. You have the same problem. But recently I have found this theme, modified by ConceptDraw Lab, where this problem is solved. So, if you want to use this beautiful theme for your blog and have no trouble with its view in different screen resolutions, you can download it from ConceptDraw Lab Blog.
