Obviously the blog has changed its look a bit. My biggest two problems are:
- The information that came with the “asides” is gone. So far I’ve had trouble getting it back.
My tables look terrible; the borders have disappeared. I can’t find this in the CSS yet, so I’m not sure why this is happening to me.
All in all, though, I liked this one. I’m running Sandbox 1.4 with Moo-Point 1.5 (the runner-up in the Sandbox Design Competition) and I like the different look. I still miss veryplaintxt though. I can’t believe nobody has created a Sandbox theme that emulates veryplaintxt.
Update: I found the tables in a massive “reset everything” line in the CSS. I must be going blind.
Update 2: Now with monochrome (mostly) and Verdana!
Here are the changes I’ve made:
/* Charlie's added stuff */
/* Removed all mention of tables or table elements
from the "reset everything" clause in the supplied
CSS file */
div#header {padding-left: 0px;}
#blog-title a {color: #5E5E5E;}
body {font-family:Verdana,Tahoma,Calibri,Helvetica,
Arial,sans-serif;font-size:.9em;}
#blog-description {padding-top: 10px;}
blockquote {color: #14568A;}
div.sidebar {font-size: .8em;}
div.category-asides h2.entry-title {display: none;}
.sidebar li img, .sidebar li a img {border: 2px solid
#5E5E5E;}
div.sidebar ul li a {color: #5E5E5E;}
div.sidebar ul li a:hover {background: #5E5E5E;}
div.comments p a, div.entry-content a,
div.entry-content ul li a, div.entry-content ol li ul a
{color: #5E5E5E;border-bottom: 1px dotted #5E5E5E;}
div#nav-below a {background:inherit;color: #5E5E5E;}
div.comments a:hover, div#nav-below a:hover,
div.entry-content p a:hover, div.entry-content ul li
a:hover, div.entry-content ol li ul a:hover,
div.comment-meta a:hover, div.comments .bypostauthor
.comment-meta a:hover, div.comments .byuser
.comment-meta a:hover, div.comments .byuser
.comment-meta span.edit-link a:hover {background: #5E5E5E;}
div.entry-content blockquote p a {color: #14568A;}
div.entry-content blockquote p a:hover {background: #14568A;}

I’m glad you found the offending css! I looked through it myself in an effort to lend a hand but completely missed it as well! Great job on a very clean layout!
Thanks. I’m pretty fond of this one, I may keep it. Looked horrible in Arial, though. And I’ve never been a big fan of brown as the unifying color on a website. But those are pretty petty complaints; all in all, I do like this theme.
