A Fresh Look

Really fresh–nice and limey.

I’ve long been a sucker for green–and I’ve long wanted to have a green WP theme–so here is a template, heavily customised from another customised template, of “Blue Kino” (I’m too lazy to sport a link).
Anyway, the site is very buggy for the time (a lot of things really annoyed me, like the Gravatars, which still don’t align properly.

You’ll have to excuse these flaws for a couple of weeks, because I’ll be on holiday from tomorrow and two weeks ahead (returning next Friday).

Thanks to Nick Dienstbier for sending the initial template and the logo and Indranil Dasgupta & Geoffrey Sneddon for helping me with various XHTML/CSS problems.

Still, various parts of the site are completely outdated (e.g. About, Colophon), and need tweaking. You’ll most likely experience a few bugs while on the site.

I don’t care; it still looks kickass.

Finally, it was time. My parents, my brother and I packed our most necessary belongings, clamped on our old caravan and headed for Copenhagen.
Here’s an extract of my stay.
