The Radical Congruency 2005 theme was re-released today. Some new features in this release:

  • Made center column’s width more consistent between Firefox and Internet Explorer; eliminated 20px gap on right side in Firefox
  • Made post-title background image wider, to accomodate change in center column width
  • Added min-height to blockquotes, so the quote image doesn’t get cut off for one-line quotes. Also fixed some padding and margin issues with blockquotes
  • Clicking on banner now takes you to current site’s home page (used to be hardcoded to RadicalCongruency.com)
  • Blog description in page title now uses bloginfo tag, rather than being hardcoded
  • Added JavaScript to search box, which clears contents so you can type without erasing “Search this site” manually. Also tweaked size of font and box.
  • Made a few changes to footer (though you’ll still need to edit it to include your own copyright/Creative Commons notice and such)
  • Moved sidebars into sidebar.php, for compliance with plugin API (sidebars were previously part of the footer)
  • Added KICKIN’ JavaScript to convert post/comment timestamp to user’s local timezone (thanks, Aaron!)

Other features of this theme:

  • Fills a 1024×768 screen perfectly, but doesn’t get unreasonably wide at higher resolutions (centered-magazine style)
  • Center column is first in HTML, which improves search engine spidering and usability in alternative browsers and text readers
  • Has alternating background images for comments
  • Pre-formatted for CG-Amazon and Quicktags plugins
  • Built-in Technorati links on each post
  • Font size scales properly according to browser’s settings for greater accessibility
  • It’s set up for use with great plugins, like Ultimate Tag Warrior - I even included the Ajax add-tag box
  • All of the plugin calls are conditionalized, so if you deactivate one, it won’t break the site
  • You can click on the banner to go to the home page (amazing how many themes leave that out)
  • It’s the only theme in the world that displays post and comment time in the user’s timezone (thanks to Aaron’s fancy JavaScript)
