I’m trying to figure out how to insert small image logos on either end of the header title, in the veryplaintxt theme. I think this would be a very useful hack, since newspapers prefer this theme, and most newspaper covers feature these little logos on either end of the name plate.

Scott, your theme is fantastic. And thanks for explaining how to get rid of that strong situation… i hear you on the reasons, but it seems built into WP to rewrite your own code back to strong… but it’s fixed now. Thanks!

[...] Life was good. And then Scott Wallick had to spoil it by announcing a major overhaul of all his brilliant WordPress themes including V3.0 of the Bartheleme theme. As the current version is an embryonic 1.2.2, you can’t resist this temptation. After months of inactivity, you now simply have to act. [...]

I’d really love to implement one of these over the weekend. Ideally I’d make a hybrid between the Hemingway theme and your blog.txt theme. I may be in touch again!

Any word on the updated Sandbox?

I’m messing with a skin and just want the updated code. I’m well aware that the changes will be minimal, but it’s been a while since the others were released. I’m more than happy to help get it inot the appropriate state for release if you need a hand.

Hi Dave: The <em> and <strong> elements have nothing to do with WordPress, except that it's convinced many people they equal italics and bold, respectively, by labeling them so in the WYSIWYG editor. I can understand not wanting to go back and edit all your posts, but I'm not sure that you would. I think this issue is getting lost on most people. To remove the styling of <em> and <strong>, just search the style.css file for these two elements, and then just delete those declarations.

RE: and

I’d really like to de-clutter my site and become standards-compliant, but I don’t want to edit hundreds of previous posts to remove those default WordPress tags.

Is this something I can adjust within the CSS or elsewhere?

[...] One of the things I pushed out in my latest release of my themes (see previous post) is better support for various microformats. [...]

I just checked the famfamfam Silk icons site, and those icons have a CC Attribution license. While not GPL, I think the license is fine, and the attribution is explicitly in the included readme.html. But those icons are pretty good, actually. And I really like Drupal, its community, so maybe in a revision I'll include them. Thanks for pointing them out.
