So after throwing up the default layout for WP and not doing anything about it, I have finally decided that winter is as good a time as any to actually change the layout. So I went on my usual image scrounge and played with that a bit. Usually, that would be the hard part. But ever since WP 1.5 came along, I’ve been completely unable to overcome their gigantic stylesheets of doom.

So here I am, patiently defining how I want each and every term to look on the index page (which took a while–my CSS is a little rusty) and then I realize I have to do it again for the individual entry page. And the page page. I’m beginning to think the stylesheets will never end!

I should have this one up tomorrow today, and hopefully another to follow soon. Maybe the second will be easier.

//edit: Okay, so here it is. It probably looks horrible in IE, but really, I don’t care anymore XP You IE users should all switch to Firefox, anyway. Yeah, and you Mac users too! XP

//double edit: Why can’t I stop listening to the DDR remix of “The Phantom of the Opera”? It must be that hunger for musicals seeping in…

Yay for Firefox!

You know, I’ve itched to learn how to do this kind of thing for a while now. I’ve looked through some tutorials but what I still don’t know is … what exactly is this you call “image scrounging”? Then again, maybe I’m too old to start learning now :biggrin:

It looks good on my Mac… I’m running Safari, because IE died awfully. For some reason the layout makes me think ‘mint’. Mmm. Mint!
