Programming blog

So our new site already has a new theme, which is just a modified version of the old theme. It looks pretty good I think.

The idea is, instead of fading out the backgrounds of the preview images, we leave them in place, and fade out the images. We also reduced the number of images previewed to 3, and arranged them in a column. Finally, my wife had a great idea of moving the menu to beneath the images, so now our menu block is at the bottom of the page.

This is an extremely easy theme, and it even works in IE 5.5 (with a minor adjustment for the logo, which I haven't done yet).

One column, centered horizontally, with header, main, and footer sections divided vertically. No sidebars at all, and extremely easy to retheme later. The JS had to be rewritten, nearly from scratch, but I think it works a bit smoother now, less jerkiness because of the fewer number of elements involved.
