I posted a new theme today: Animal Crossing. You can also still use the old theme if you prefer. I’m working on integrating my activity on other sites, like Twitter and Stack Overflow, into the blog, and it’s been fun styling individual post types.
The layout is based on Nintendo’s awesome Animal Crossing: City Folk game for the Wii. I used screenshots from the game to create the graphics; that’s my little character you see to your left. I fear how this layout must look in Internet Explorer 6, since I use transparent PNG’s extensively. I’ve checked it in:
- Firefox 3 in OS X and Windows XP
- Safari 4 in OS X
- IE 8 in Windows XP
- Chrome in Windows XP
Please let me know how your browser fares. I’m still tweaking some things, so let me know if you find problems.
I based the theme off of Nishita, a photoblog theme for WordPress. The social networking icons came from Social Media Icons Pack. The Pandora icon came from RocketDock and the Github icon came from mojombo’s github-media. The Stack Overflow icon came from ern / CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.
Cute cute cute!
This textarea runs into the content border in FF3.5 WinXP but otherwise I see no problems :)
I think it needs some of the cute animal crossing characters dotted about though ;)
I’m not so sure about what Animal Crossing is, but what I do know is that the way you have entries from Twitter, Pandora, etc. set up look neat.
I also have the same problem as Jem with the textarea running into the border. I’m on FF3.0 in Ubuntu.
I shrank the text area, so hopefully that works okay. It has been fine so far in FF3 on my Mac; dunno what’s up with the discrepancy.
Textarea ‘bug’ fixed for me now btw :)
