so i’ve finally gotten around to upgrading wordpress and while i was at it, i went ahead and created a new theme.

destroyed_minimal is a clean, two-column theme and (when selected) uses a script i wrote to overlay the title headlines with on-the-fly generated (and/or from cache) headline PNGs in a specified font of [my] choosing. also added was a print stylesheet that will hide the image headlines when printing.

i haven’t tested this on a non-Mac yet, but everything validates ok. however, if you’re experiencing problems with this site, getting errors, the image headlines aren’t fully covering the text headlines, or terribly slow load-times, please let me know.

hope you enjoy it.

update: i added a stylesheet switcher (to the sidebar) that will allow you to choose between destroyed or minimal. it works via Ajax, requires no page reload, will function with or without javascript enabled, and will also give your browser a cookie to remember your preferred style for your future visits. however, it’s a little slower than my javascript-only version and even if you’ve chosen minimal, the images are still loaded in the background. i’ll improve these annoyances when i get some time.

update (1.13.2008): none of this applies any more since the 2008 redesign.
