New Blog Theme

I've hacked a blogger theme from Blogger Templates to make it work in my blog.

A couple of things jumped out at me while I was modifying the theme to work:

  • Visual Studio 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 are a big improvement over Visual Studio 2003. XHTML and CSS are much improved and using Visual Studio to edit HTML and controls is possible without going crazy.
  • This <div> vs. <table> business is a real pain. Just a single table in this design would have made the site a lot easier to implement and probably better for the reader. Yes, CSS is really cool when it works, but getting it work is such a pain it hardly seems worth it in end.
