New theme: Quilt (taking back the type)
So you will have probably noticed if you’re reading this on site I’ve changed my theme (again) but this time for a very good reason, I’m taking back the type. In hindsight the previous theme was a travesty to those who wanted to read, the white type on the red canvas background was not a legible sight and so here’s Quilt.
With this theme I’ve gone back to a white background, kept it simple and hopefully kept it minimal. It’s heavily based on Hemingway with a few tweaks and extra functions added by me. These include post thumbnails, a wider site design (sadly you’re going to need something bigger than 1024 to fit it all in now), social functions in the sidebar, jQuery to the top button and a more fitting colour scheme.
As this is a more typographically orientated design I’ve also re-enabled WP-Typography, previously I had a few problems with it but I’m hoping they’ve all been sorted by now and will provide a better typographic experience. I’ve also gotten rid of the SexyBookmarks buttons, I’ve never really like them and they never seem to fit in properly though I suppose that’s their suppose; to stand out.
I hope you enjoy this new theme, and I hope I stick with it.
Edit: I forgot to say originally I’ve also removed the URL field from the comments as I was receiving so much spam because of it, I was getting bored with it all even if it was mostly caught by Akismet I just felt the need to get rid of the temptation.
