I've got tons of themes that I'll never finish. I also try to use very few images because CSS can do so much. That's a great tip to add. Mohsin

It may not be the prettiest theme ever, but I am trying to keep it eye-catching as well as simple and usable. Also, on a side-note, I use very few images in my designs, because there is always a way to achieve many fancy effects with pure CSS. The less images = the less bloat = more usable design. :) I’ve been working on a theme for ages, but never got around to finish it.

At least your link is decent and not real spam. I left a comment on your blog post that I hope helps with your IE problems. BoltClock

Anyway, I'll occasionally refer to this in my future theme development endeavors. Not trying to spam, but you know, I really have no idea whether my first WordPress theme makes a cut as a theme.

I can't remember how many people I made test my first Java calcualator program in college. Friends, family, no one could escape. :) That was before I switched majors to English, of course. <strong>Lilly</strong> I actually think that WordPress Pages are very powerful. I just don't think there's a lot of documentation on how to use them. When I first started using WordPress, I mainly used the Page functionality. Maybe that's why I think there's a lot that can be done with Pages. Tell me what you're looking for, and maybe I can help out. <strong>Downtown</strong> Thanks. :) skarld
