Loading ...New theme!
Posted by James - 07/11/07 at 01:11:34 amWell there we are, a new theme. It’s been needing an overhaul for a little while now, so this is phase one - Live implimentation. As usual, nothing is set in stone, and I imagine I’ll be spotting and squashing bugs or tweaking designs for a few more weeks to come.
Why the overhaul? #1 - I was never really happy with the construction of the first theme, being a little… ugly code wise. #2 - A chance to make the theme smarter, with more widgets support, and #3 Wordpress 2.3 broke a helluva lot of nasty hardcoded parts.
Good parts? I’ve cleaned the code up a bit and added smarter signposting. Some new custom pages are on their way, once I figure out all the php niggles I have left. Bad parts? Some of the older pages look nasty now.
So, anyone care to comment? I’m not exactly decided about the sidebar styles and a few other bits - but what do you think?

I like the top and bottom banners - very distinctive, but I think you’ve got your gradient on the light grey ending too abruptly.
The styles in the posts are nice and clean - but the sidebar is a little uncertain, you should back this up with a rigid structure. There’s also a few holes, like your ‘About’ page styling and the missing ‘Psykedmap’
Other’n that, it’s nice!

Thanks for the feedback - the idea for the sidebar sounds good. ‘About’ and ‘Psykedmap’ are also due for a rewrite - when I don’t get distracted doing other things!
