White

Nothing much to say – a new theme for your delight and delectation. The look is partly stolen from Lori‘s new look, and partly because white is apparently the new slightly-dark-orange this season. It’s quite a serious looking theme, but I shouldn’t have thought that’s going to mean you’ll suddenly start to get thoughtful, serious postings from me, though; it’ll just be all the same old crap, I’m afraid. All the old themes are, naturally, still there to choose from.

(incidentally, I’ve checked the appearance of the theme in IE and Firefox and it seems to work in both; leave a comment if it’s broken in your browser and, if feasible, I shall endeavor to fix it.)

Edit – I’ve tweaked it slightly to put a nicer logo aligned with the right-hand edge of the article border. It took 30 seconds to do it in Firefox, and then another half-hour or so of swearing, consulting W3, cursing the name of Bill Gates, and eventually just trying stuff at random before it worked in IE; it appears to be something to do with IE getting terribly confused if you set both the left: and right: attributes of a block if the body block has margin-left: set to anything other than 0px. In other words, it’s well bent. Boy, am I ever glad I changed to Firefox.

    Heck, I’ve got to find something to do whilst slacking off at work 🙂

    (in case anyone from my office is reading this, I did this at lunchtime while you were all playing BF:Vietnam, and I’m actually working really hard at the moment. Yes.)
