Just in time for the new year, a big CSS reboot.
Quick and hacked together but I fairly pleased with the results. The single column feels more spacious, allowing for larger photos to be posted, and putting the sidebar on a diet while shoving it down towards the footer seems to help keep focus on the content. It is a bit of a cheat, as I chainsawed the default theme and re-used aspects of the old theme.
I’m very happy with how the footer worked out, especially the posts, comments, and albums. Not half bad for a hack of a sysadmin playing as a designer for an evening and it was fun to play around with CSS and get a little deeper with how WordPress is laid out.
Love the pig.

I made the final push to get all the books on my list loaded into the database, some 119 [Edit: missed three..] titles in all, and took the time to tweak the templates a little more. For the sidebar (picture on left), I moved the current book to the top as it was a little lost between planned and finished, though the original layout reflects a transition better. Additionally, I added the sums of each book into the header with the stock function call found in the library template (I’m grateful for Rob’s well laid out code!) to add a sense of perspective–if I read a little over a book a month I have seven years remaining!
