here, here… I too personally detest underlined links.

Content is king. Makes no difference, really, in the bigger picture if links are underlined, dotted, double underlined or simply colored.

Its all personal choice. Mine are colored, with a dashed underline when hovered.

I’d focus more on providing excellent content, that way your links will be “clicked” regardless of how you style them.

Underline is probably universally seen as an instant “notification” that that link is a link and not just some colored text to the unenlightened.

if that helps

vkaryl – you’re right. Kubrick uses a background image

body { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg"); }

edit: that’s from the header.php. If you want to remove it, just comment it out like this /*blah*/ and then do what vkaryl suggested.

change the image colors from the style sheet.

I like what you’ve done. The alterations are great, as too the floating boxes!

I also like the additional information you’ve provided ie: author, web url & download graphics, but I’m undecided if I like the individual blue/gray border/dividers for each one.

Would you consider doing another snapshot of the single post view:

1) make your image slightly larger (pretty please)
2) center your image in the body content area
3) group your icon/graphic (author,url,download, etc) together with – no tags, feeds, trackback address and put them into ONE blue/grey divider box and put it, say, 20px beneath the image left side?

This, of course, is just a suggestion.

I like the color contrast of the divider, but I think the three dividers, plus the extra info (trackback addres,etc) looks too busy as it now stands, and a little unclean.

Do you know what I mean?

Otherwise, I like it. Good job on the boxes.

raptex,

blue images as in your review images inside your floating boxes. Your header has blue font. The first two boxes had blue images.

Too much blue… too close together…

Your background was fine – at least from my viewing pleasure.

You can find all your info re: floating boxes and equal spacing here, to name just a few:

Sorry, but I have to agree with mindfeck.
