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.

I’ve also added a link to Listy.us, my primary project. There’s nothing there yet, so don’t bother clicking the link. The logo is a result of a number of failed attempts and a number of discussions with my girlfriend. The logo’s meant to be warm, playful, and casual. Most importantly casual. Other list services out there—my would-be competition, at any rate—are too impersonal, too boring. I want Listy.us to be fun. That’s my goal. If I can make some money along the way, peachy.

Somewhat related, here’s the Zend_Db Table cheatsheet I promised in Twitter:

public Thingies extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract {

	protected $_name	= 'thingies'; // actual table name

	// for a standard primary key:
	protected $_primary	= 'id';	// our primary key

	// OR, for multiple keys, omit above and use:
	protected $_primary	= array('widget_id','thingy_id');
	protected $_sequence	= false;

	// for tables referencing this one:
	protected $_dependantTables = array('Widgets','Thingies');
	// note use of class names instead of table names

	// for tables this references:
	protected $_referenceMap = array(
		'Doodad'	=> array(
			'columns' => 'doodad_id',  // column name that references doodads table
			'refTableClass' => 'Doodads',  // class that encapsulates doodads table
			'refColumns' => 'id'  // column in doodads table that doodad_id references
		)
	);

	// all your CRUD goes here

}
