New, yes. Better? I’ll let you be the judge. But, yeah, we’ve got a new theme here in blog-town. The old BendTech look just hasn’t been wearing well. I wanted something with a bit lighter mood. Not that this is all that light, but at least it’s not so Matrix-y. Also, I wanted something that wasn’t so obviously a ripoff of the overly popular iNove theme that’s been making the rounds.
There is actually a practical aspect to this, too. This new theme is a dumbed-down version of the default theme that WordPress comes with (“Kubrick”). Not only is it a lot easier to maintain, it doesn’t require as many scripts and images, so hopefully it’ll load a little bit faster for ya.
For you Internet Explorer users out there, I apologize for what probably looks like a pretty clunky design. Everything should still [mostly] work properly, but I’m using some nifty CSS properties for drop shadows and rounded corners that Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, has decided don’t belong in IE. So… well… sorry. If you want a more aesthetic experience please use Firefox, Safari, or Chrome.
