Themes and more themes
Posted by Raven on April 13th, 2008
So I keep messing with different themes here, trying to find the perfect boringly boring black and white look…the other theme was great until I broke it beyond repair. I re-installed it and broke it again so I ditched it. THIS one is pretty simple and so far it’s easy to adjust.
I have NO idea why but several posts here (like this one!!) have lost their date stamp. Weird. No matter what theme I use the publish date is no where to be found. It could be a WP 2.5 thing or, more likely a plugin OR even more likely it’s ME.
I think this one is a keeper for now, until I can save up some cash to have Tammy re-do a personalized theme again.

I saw a really good black and white one, I’ll see if I can find it for you.

How bout:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/4415/cutline-3-column-split-11/
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/4021/myjournal-hypereal/ ( a bit more color, but an excellent theme)
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/1-column/3385/newsprint-10/
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/307/v4ny3-10/ (would have to add a little bit of CSS and some code in header file to add blog name)

Many themes group same-day posts under a single date stamp. That appear to be what’s happening here (but I could be wrong.)

Robert you were correct. **sigh** which meant I had to go in and fix the tags and code surrounding the date…which was a total complete utter PITA.
But I managed it,
Thank you for mentioning THAT as a possibility. Cause I was assuming it was something else ….and we all know what ASSUME is.

d you should be able to see pictures again as I was able to switch back to this theme…I think this is the one where you could see ‘em.

Teach thank you for all those links- I **think** I saved this theme but I’m not sure…just when I think it’s set something happens! So I bookmarked your links for now.

Quite welcome. Ran across another nice one: http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/3585/classy-10/
Mostly B&W, but, has some color elements that provide highlights, but, are not too much

OOH thanks Teach! That’s another good one I’ll save, LOL…when the time comes that this current theme breaks again (and I will manage to break it for sure…)
I like that this theme looks the same in all browsers save for the text size…which is bolder and bigger in IE.

…but if you’re using IE 6.o or older you can’t see any pictures.
