I just wanted to write some additional notes to anyone downloading the theme to try out. It is customizable, and the view you see when you install it isn’t the only option.

The default view option, textboxes, aligns small text boxes containing short post excerpts. The second option, the normal blog view, contains a view more traditional to blogs - linear post excerpts. The third option is for photo-centric people, it shows the post image associated with the post in lieu of a text excerpt (or by default, a recycling symbol if no images are in the post).

The sidebar is completely widgetized, so if you use widgets you are free to install whatever widgets you’d like for use in the side bar. You also have the option of turning the sidebar off if you don’t like / need one.

It is also pretty easy to customize the colors for the theme, there are two default stylesheets included (clean.css, and dark.css) in the styles subdirectory of the theme. All of the colors are set in these files, so if you want to change the colors you can copy these files and do so (or overwrite them directly)

Bugs:
If you are using the photo preview, the $img_url variable accidentally got misplaced. Move it so it looks like this:


< ?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
< ?php $imageurl = szub_post_image(); ?>

You’ll have to do this in the postloop.php , archive.php , and search.php files. Edit - this is now fixed in version .91
