The new blog theme has been live for a couple days now. It still has a few tweaks to be done (single post page lacks styles for the next/previous links, for example), possibly some component rearranging, but it’s okay for now. The look and feel now matches the background on my twitter page, or you could say the background on the twitter page now matches the blog, as it was the blog that was designed first.
This is probably my first real attempt at a grid-based layout. Vertically it falls short of perfect baseline alignment, simply because I didn’t feel it was worth the effort to get it perfect. This is a blog. If it were a corporate product page, then yes, it would be worth the trouble to get everything in a perfect rhythm, but it’s not.
Also, I have not tested this in IE 6 or 7. Out of curiosity, I tested it in 8 a few seconds ago and it looks fine. Obviously, ignoring IE isn’t a luxury I can afford in the future, but in the current “I just want to get this WP theme done so I’m using something more appropriate than a public theme” context, it works.
