I’ve recently changed theme here, and the choice fell on Hemingway by Kyle Neath. It has seen some time since release, but it is simple looking (which is a good thing), the code is clean and hopefully easy to tinker with. (I’m making my own loosely based on this.)
The forums have been down for quite a time, and doesn’t show signs of returning.
My design at this blog is deviating more and more from the Hemingway theme look – but if there is any aspect of it you’re wondering about; ask me in the comments. I’ll remove this notice, and fix up a link if I get around to make a theme download or something.
I quickly got some trouble with how to display more than two posts at the front page, but (as others probably have) solved them quickly. I also did a quick hack on how to display more than two posts on each row, but I won’t be using that style myself. I’ll try and tinker with this theme on my own, but seeing as Kyle did promise (in November 2006) to release a new and improved version … soon, I won’t put too much work in it.
I’ll try and write up changes I do and post them here in this journal, or at the forums. That’ll hopefully make me put some effort into making them not too hackish.
