Cosmetic Changes
I found some time a few weeks ago to make a few cosmetic changes to my blog theme. You can skip this if you don’t care. This is more of a changelog to keep track of things than something interesting to read.
The most significant is the addition of gravatars to the comments section. If you have a gravatar it will show up right next to your name. If you don’t, no problem, there won’t be an ugly placeholder image.
Next I added a link to the comments section at the bottom of the post. The category is now listed at the top of the post. The comment border was made darker.
I also changed the formatting of links in the post. They had a strange yellow background which I got rid of and coloured them orange to match the post titles.
Blockquote had a background that was a bit too dark for my liking so I made it slightly lighter.
I lost interest when I got to the oddly placed search bar in the header. I’m putting it off for another day.

Search bar looks good.

Looking better already!

George, since absolutely no one uses blockquotes inside blockquotes I’m not going to do anything about that. (Of course Sundar might try to just because I said no one does that.)
Thanks, Rambodoc.

Point, I hadn’t expected that to happen. Very odd.

I would, if only I knew what it was about.
