Hacking up the new theme

I think the changes I have made since yesterday’s implementation will go further for usability, although there are a couple things I can’t figure out. Here’s what I have done.

First, I hacked up the sidebar, and removed the old manually edited links section and added my bloglines aggregator so if I change it in bloglines, it automatically updates here. Then I added some preferred meta that I like. Of course, I had to place the obligatory wikispaces link.

Next, I just read Ben’s comment so I hacked up a little more. Now there is an additional comment link at the end of each post. Not to mention I had to add my own plugins, the edbloggernews submit and and the edublogosphere submit plugin. I should test to see if they work! Hmmm…

What I cannot figure out is how to add some padding after each of the line items in an ordered list. For example, look at my five things meme post and look how jumbled it looks since there’s no spacing. I tried manually adding
‘s after each line but no dice. I emailed the theme author, we’ll see if he responds. In the meantime, anyone know how to do this in CSS? I don’t see anywhere where ordered lists are defined, that’s the odd part. Unordered lists have a padding below them, at least according to the file. Maybe I need to add a definition for the ordered list.

I am no designer.

So thanks for the help with the new theme!

    Love the new theme – seems like the blogroll is indented one two many. Other than that, very slick.
