So, I’ve hacked the wordpress default theme into looking like the stuff already on my site. It’s not entirely finished, but it works well enough for normal browsing. Things to do:

• Add the logo at the top of the sidebar
• Fix the php for the footer to be stuck in the sidebar, instead of abs-positioned, so the layout won’t go haywire when the height of the window is too small
• Figure out why ‘Valid XHTML’ messes up when resizing
• Generally clean up the stylesheet so it isn’t such an abominal mess of random adjustments anymore, and make it smaller in download size.
• Attempt to make the (number) additions to the categories go behind the links, instead of on a new line. This one’s tough, as the links are set to display: block and to fill up the <li> blocks to make the hover effect look nice. Maybe I can fix it with some positioning magic, because I’m fairly sure trying to make the <li> blocks light up on hover doesn’t work in IE. Incidentally, I have no idea whether this style works in Opera or Safari. If anyone could enlighten me about that, it’d be appreciated. Feel free to comment in that case .
