Dude, where’s my WordPress theme?

Here it is. Finally I found the time to build my own WordPress theme. The theme sports clean, accessible XHTML delivered as XHTML 1.1 and application/xhtml+xml (as recommended by the W3C) to capaple browsers (EOMB) – because I can do it – and degrades to XHTML 1.0 compliant to the HTML Compatibility Guidelines in other ones. The layout is fluid-elastic, with min- and max-width (even in IE).

What’s next:

  • I need to put in some Icons here and there. Maybe these? Done. Apparently.
  • I will add style sheets for print and handheld.Done. Also available as alternate style sheets.
  • I want to ajaxify the comments. I believe there are some plugins already, but I want to build my own of course (with jQuery).

Have fun!

Update: Added my hCard to the contact page.

  1. Hi — was hoping that someone could clue me in on a total n00b CSS issue:

    I’m trying to customize the Random Image Theme for Wordpress, and I’m running into a small — but *incredibly annoying* — problem.

    I’m trying to make the background of the content area white. The background of navigation column that runs down the right side is not plain white (FFFFFF). Rather Photoshop’s color picker claims that it’s F9F9F9 — but this isn’t anywhere in the style.css file. There is a .alt that has a background set at F8F8F8, but when I change that to FFFFFF, it doesn’t help.

    Where is that shading coming from?

    many thanks…

    That color comes from a background image which is defined in an embedded style sheet, not in the external style sheet:

    #page { background: url(" ... /images/kubrickbg.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
