Blog theme change
Posted: January 9th, 2009 | Filed under: Personal | Tags: theme, wordpress | 7 Comments »For all of you who read my blog in their feed readers, the web theme has changed to something less standard, to something lighter and breathing. I have simply fallen in love with this theme at first sight. It’s clean, it has lots of space, elements are all bold and meaningful, it’s based on my favorite grid (3 column 950px, the main part takes 2 columns). Oh yeah, and I tend to like white color…

@Aleksey What bugs me is the missing link to the homepage (except in the footer). Use the logo to have a nice intuitive homepage link.
& Why does the main part take two columns?
Added the link to the logo. Thanks.
What do you mean “why”? To be wide enough for the content. I’m not sure I fully understand your question.
Re. Why?
You only need one div id to get one main column. You don’t have to sum up to columns to achieve the width you want
The divs look OK. You have one div for content and one div for the sidebar. I understood you have two divs for content. Sorry, I should have looked 1st.
I was speaking in terms of area occupied.
It’s the 3-column design grid where all 3 columns have the same width. So the screen is divided into two physical columns, where the left (main) covers the area of 2 design-grid columns and the sidebar covers one of them. It’s analogous to a newspaper layout where some images and blocks of text can span several columns.
