New Theme: Jakarta
Oversized images break the IE and Netscape views of this theme, but Firefox does a good job of it. I’ll enjoy customizing. It has menu buttons along the top, which I like, and the categories are once again separated on the sidebar. Overall, it has the features I like in a theme. I really like the function buttons in the upper-right corner too! It may be worth settling in to.
The theme browser is Alex King’s genius at work. Most themes are really quite easy to install. It’s in the code-tweaking where it can get a little challenging.
Now where do I start? I need to fix the IE and Netscape views of this. If I re-size the images to 475px wide, maximum, then re-upload them, that would do it.
OR, I could expand the margin-right value in the CSS. Maybe.
I don’t recommend viewing this theme at 800×600. In fact I don’t recommend setting your screen resolution lower than 1024×768 anyway, but I guess you can’t get away from it at public computers.
And then there’s Mobile Web Design (the hottest field to get into now). How can any serious designer design for such a tiny screen?
I’ll be busy for a while, tweaking this theme.
Don’t forget my birthday!

I just plugged the gravatar code into the Comments template. I believe it will work now.

Looks pretty good, but set the padding higher for text, and you still need to figure out why IE, Netscape, and AOL don’t re-size the images like Firefox does, and how are you going to fix it?
