Well, I hope you like it (or can tolerate it at least).

I have upgraded to WordPress2.1 and it’s certainly faster for writing posts, I hope it’s a bit quicker from your end. My old template had to go, as it was not 2.1 compatible, and there were a few toys that I couln’t use either. I think this template makes everything a little easier to read as well.

The old favourites are all still here, Top Commentators to the top left, so the competetion can continue: There is also a new calendar based archive to the right: hover over to see the posts for that day, or click to read them. Underneath is a recent posts table, again clickable, followed by the 5 most recent comments under my email subscription box. More will follow as the blog develops.

Many thanks to all those who commented on my (many!) prospective designs – there were some truly stunning templates I found which looked wonderful in FireFox, but due to the fact that shoddy, non-standardised, Internet Explorer can’t display them properly, I couldn’t use them. For all those of you still using IE, do yourself a massive favour and get a proper browser – you’ll be amazed at how much better the web looks when it’s rendered properly, and not covered in adverts. We won’t even mention the security flaws…

    Well done that man…

  10. Chris says:

    Thanks everyone, glad you like it :-)

    Skittles, it may be the only thing about me that is classy then ;-)

    Bee, any help you need, give me a shout.

    Skytower, it’s quite simple, I just strongly recommend running a test blog first-not only could I find a template that worked with IE, I could also test all my plugins etc.
