    Hello everyone!
    Today marks the release of the 1.0 version of Minimalistica (public release), the theme that you currently see on http://www.stevenbao.com. Created sometime in March 2006 and packaged for release today, Minimalistica is a theme that is another proof of the rule that beauty exists in simplicity.

    Minimalistica is a sleek, cleak skin with light grays, faint stripes, gradients, and drop shadows. And some whitespace.

    Enjoy this theme. You can download it and get more details at http://stevenbao.com/minimalistica. If possible, please give me some feedback as well. :)

    Minimalistica 1.0 (pr): Beauty in Simplicity.

    Regards,
    Steven Bao

    Nice theme. I liked it so much, I added a 3-column sidebar at the bottom as you suggested.

    Right. I'll try to see if I can patch it to work in IE better, maybe use non-alpha images, maybe use the IE7 JS library.

    The changes I made apparently make it validate in both IE and FF.

    wow - 60 errors on stevenbao.com - that's a lot for a theme release...

    jwurster - are you talking about the theme on your site currently? i'm seeing 40 errors there...

    *confused*

    I'm confused, too. When I got to stevebao.com and use FF to validate, I get 42 warnings. The theme I currently have on my site has 3 warnings in FF. I only have my mod to this theme locally on my computer and it has 3 warnings.

    I guess I need to use the complete validation and not the stuff built into FF. Sorry for my confusion. I now see the 40 errors

    So, this leads to my question, is the FF plugin for html tidy not good?

    My own blog theme is not validated for the reason that Structured Blogging plugin breaks my validation.
    The theme at the download is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional, valid CSS. Check it for yourself.

    http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stevenbao.com%2Ftest&usermedium=all

    There's a difference between the theme on my blog and the Public Release, at http://www.stevenbao.com/test.

    jwurster - you should use the real validation http://validator.w3.org/ system, integrated ones (such as to Firefox or Dreamweaver, which I used to use to validate) don't work as well.

    Sorry about the confusion.

    My only problem is that I am modifying the theme locally. The validator doesn't work on my pc.
