Presentational Changes
In amongst trying to write the second part of my database clustering articles, I’m playing around with the styling of these pages. As I’m still using the site as I fiddle with things, James Cheezepie might call this a realignment, but I think I’ll stick with “needless fiddling” as the standard WordPress template is quite nice.
Anyway, the main problem I have with coming up with any design is what I’m going to call “sub-conscious plagiarism”, this being the phenomenon where you create a design and then boom, you notice a very similar looking design on a web site you’ve already been on. Perhaps this time I can get around this by doing little bits of fiddling here and there, and by admitting it when I “pinched” something from somewhere else. So the changes I’ve made under the title of each entry and come from the k2 Wordpress template. I figure as it’s already part of a freely available template, it’s ok.

Yes, it certainly is a tough one. I’m in the same position at the moment.
“Realignment”, “needless fiddling”, it’s all good :p
I like the changes you’ve made so far, especially liking the liquid layout. Looks much better on my wider screen in work, and still works on the smaller screen at home too. Good job.
My only suggestion would be to add some padding to the content on the article / commenting page, the content’s just a little close to the border.
Agreed. I’ll add some back in shortly – I’ve taken out most of the stylesheet for this template as it’s not laid out in a great way and was proving a bit difficult to find out which bit actually affecting the presentation.
Why the long space?
