Zooiblog: crappy sidebar though

Had a quick look but couldn't see the cause of the problem though I would caution you on the use of absolute positioned divs esp for WP they have been the cause of many problems with WP 1.2 breaking.
Floats are generaly better for dynamic pages.
Interesting to see a 1.3 in action was just about to install a nightly to have a play around with and see if I could work out the new themes function that seems to be causing some disconcertion on the support forum, Is this your own theme ? have you worked out the architecture of the new files and theme switching?

Hugo.

Yes, this is 1.3-alpha3, and this is my own theme, I've made it myself.

I think absolute positioning works perfectly. No container div, no problems (except for some box-modelly stuff).

The theme switching is a bliss! You should really try is localhost - a real redemption
The architecture isn't that hard. Almost every page you've got edited in the folder with your theme substitutes the pages it should (so wp-content/themes/theme1/index.php will replace /index.php, prety smart). It's worth it, but watch out with updating: you'd better wait till 1.3.

Yes wasn't going to attempt to upgrade my live version just run a copy on my localhost server esp as there are likely to be further changes before the final release and I am suspicious of how the kubrick theme is going to be intergrated and how easy it will be to remove as I have no confidence in any of the stylings that have gone before. I have to admit I was supprissed that they didn't think to break down the header/menu /footer into includes before this seems far more natural ,but the concen for many I think wil be how hard it is to convert heavily modified index.php and style sheets to the new format, I couldn't see at a glance where the calls for the various bits were in the index.php but no doubt a play around will clarify; I might have a go at upgrading a test install.

Hugo.

I really don't understand how they do it, but my custom pages are all included. Most of them. Some don't, but they aren't supported (yet). All in all, I'm quite happy with it. And with the layout, too.

very nice like the 'free' style.
I love sites when you can just do what ever you want.

I do have one more question. What's wrong with my code? It just doesn't validate, though I can see what I'm accused of. Could someone please check it?

Check through the code there are a lot of duplicated <p> tags both opening and closing, although they are not the lines quoted they are the probable culprits; looks like something is inserting extra tags have you adjusted something in admin to add structural markup.

Hugo.

Fixed a lot, but now my <dl> doesn't validate, for unknown reasons.
Anyone?

[edit]
Hmmm... WordPress *beep*ed up my code. Sometimes I just miss <dt>s and all...

Seems to be fine now, both front page and comments page seem to validate ok, so I guess you have sorted the problems?

Hugo.

Yeah, and now to fix some of IE's problems... I'll ask some friends about that.

Thanks, and see you around.
