Well, it have been decided that I was going to ditch the old theme and make a new one. The last theme, Wicketpixie seems alright, but the problem is that it uses alot of images and it seems to load slower than it would on top of the glitches on top, so I decided to gut the theme. We are still using the same banner, but I made alot of mods and tweaks to the Thematic Theme Framework with the help of the Web Inspector in Webkit to figure out what CSS to edit and all that good stuff. I managed to maintain the top bar from the old theme, except for minor glitches that I need to fix. Overall, the theme seems to be very appealing to the eye and also loads alot quicker than the old theme… Several seconds quicker since now everything is done with CSS, not with images and such… I haven’t tested the theme in Internet Explorer since it is the worst browser ever made, but everything seems to work fine.
Anyways, tell me what you think about it and I will take some suggestions… No, the color scheme is here to stay, so yeah….
Also, I got rid of Wibiya… so people who are reading this blog don’t have to tear their hairs out when they see that annoying, floating toolbar. And yes, this theme has threaded comments!
Update: Subscribe menu should now view properly. Something was up with the positioning of the menu in the CSS.

I like it! The colors are so bright and cheery~
CSS took me ages to semi-learn, but it’s really handy, huh?
Well yea… CSS is pretty easy if you have a good text editor that help you guide the process. I use Espresso, which is a Mac application as my main editor for anything web development related. Coda does the same thing too, but more polished… (Any text or web editor program is fine with CSS)
And yeah, the scheme is from colourlovers.com, which Gargron suggested to me over XMPP… so yeah, the whole thing took 6 hours to put together.
