Thoughts on layout

    I am new to wordpress and have had trouble finding the right template but settled on this one with adjustments. It’s not perfect (e.g. the vertical dividing lines come and go depending on the browser and I have needed to do quite a few tweaks). Also there has been a problem with loading images. They wrap around rather than sit above the text and be clickable as I want. Other wise, I would welcome any comments. The look I am trying to get is a newspaper style.

    Cheers

    I like it, I’ve really been into typography-focused & clean designs lately. Great choice on the theme.

    I noticed your site wasn’t validated. Only 10 errors, but this would probably fix your cross-browser compatibility issues with the dividing lines, and whatever else.

    Thanks for that. I now know about validation! Am starting to do it.

    On the layout I was surprised how hard it was to find such typography-focussed themes. There are not many around.

    I confess to being a real newspaper fan. Getting a simple but clean looking theme but with flexibility for a ‘newspaper’ style seemed few on the ground. Too many themes concentrated on individual features without checking that the whole look is easy on the eye, much as would be done in a newspaper broadsheet design.

    If you are into typography, you should check out the wp-Typography plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-typography/
