Midnight candle burns out
Saturday, May 24th, 2008I pulled an almost all-nighter, but I was able to rewrite the entire theme from scratch and add some enhancements like AJAX commenting with direct replies, a tag cloud, reduced the number of categories, and most importantly my new theme validates against W3C for both CSS and XHTML Strict.
That’s right you read that correctly, I validate against Strict not Transitional.
Gotta say I did a lot of work in the past 9 hours (!) and now I’m going to get some sleep 
Perhaps the best part of all of this is I was lukewarm about my last theme, but this new one I really love. My last one was an exploration into not fearing white space and this new one has been an exploration into using red, a colour I have been afraid to use for a long time. Having conquered both a fear of white and of red I fell rather accomplished at the moment.
I plan to fix just a couple remaining annoyances with the theme and package it up for distribution under the GPL titled “White as Snow”.
To bed I go… but first if you have not seen an Ariel Atom and you are a car guy you need to check out the below video.
