California Dreams

I have worked on my blog layout a little bit. I started from the Fluid Blue theme, but it had way too small text for may taste. I generally don’t like pages that touch the default text sizes. So I removed nearly all text size changes from the stylesheet.

I also liked the RSS feed icon in the old layout, so I added one to this theme as well.

One major thing that I still want to do is to provide better layouts for mobile devices. Even though the current theme is somewhat fluid, it does require a minimum width that is not available in most mobile devices. I’d like the sidebar to drop to the bottom if the window width is too small.

Finally there are quite a few browsers to test to make sure everything looks decent. Maybe I’ll eventually get to a state where I could release the theme.

I also gave a face lift for the Dead of Winter RPG campaign pages by using by Matthew James Taylor‘s excellent liquid layouts. To make this easier I expanded my earlier Python script to write the headers and footers for all of the pages instead of just splitting the long journal into manageable chapters.
