Ptt… New theme

Upon somewhat well-deserved abuse heaped on to this blog due the heft of the previous theme, I changed to a more minimalistic affair.

The main visible change is the lack of a randomized header image, but I’m pretty sure that the selection wasn’t really attracting anyone here. The other big change is the fluid nature of the layout - certainly a change from the exactly 900 pixels wide design previously.

This is Fluid Blue by Srini. The CSS seems to be simple and pleasant, and only a couple of changes were needed to facilitate the layout choices undertaken previously.

The theme doesn’t contain support for asides, so installed asideshop to take care of the shorter posts. I’m not truly happy with their layout yet. And all in all, I’ll probably get rid of the entry-specific timestamps.

Please report mistakes, design oddities and any resistance to change as comments or via e-mail.

EDIT 16.8.2008: OK, so the asideshop is not really working. Time to fix the aside-ness of an entry within the theme itself.

EDIT 16.8.2008, like, later: The asides should now work as expected.

    Will do. But as I already fixed the theme to accommodate for asides, I’m not looking for miracles.
