fallen verses

Making some changes to the theme, namely, scrapping the old, pink one, and putting in a new, grey one. But things are going to be a little broken while I recode some of it. And I’m at work, so it may be sporadically addressed.

UPDATE: I think I’m basically done, and everything should work. The “need to do” list includes putting up a better header image (well, putting up a header image) but to do that I need to install photoshop. If anyone encounters any problems, let me know tom (at) fallenverses (dot) org or leave a comment. You can also leave a comment to just say the new look is ugly and you don’t like it, if that’s how you really feel.

UPDATE2: Still no header image, but that is next on the list. Being mindful of Christine’s comment, I tried out a “white” look and I don’t care for it. However, I did write up a second version of the stylesheet with a white look. Firfox users can go to View -> Page Style -> white if they would prefer to use it. Internet Explorer users should download Firefox appear to be unable to switch rendered stylesheets. Or, if IE can, I have no idea how. I’ll look into a method on the page to switch views, but that won’t be right away.

I adjusted the colors in the normal style to have greater contrast between the text and the background- previously the text was only about 80% white, so that may help in reading as well. As far as black being scary… well, ’tis the season, I guess.

UPDATE3: Everything seems to be completely broken in IE7. le sigh.

UPDATE4: Less broken in IE7. everything loads and all that, but some of the margins are not being respected. On single-post pages, the previous and next post linsk should be above the title of the post by a fair bit and IE7 doesn’t like that idea. On pages with multiple posts, there should be more psace between posts than IE7 is displaying. IE7 knows web design better than anyone and thinks standards are for the weak. I hate IE7. And I don’t know how to fix this.
