If you think the blog looks very different now, it’s not your imagination. It was brought to my attention last night that Internet Explorer 7 didn’t like my previous, heavily-modified theme at all.
The theme I’ve chosen to replace it is called Copyblogger, and it was designed by Chris Pearson. It is a theme built for writers, and is designed to render typography in a pleasing and professional manner above all else. It’s not as colorful, slick, or graphic as the old theme was, but I think it has a pleasant, understated look. I’ll be slowly customizing it to bring back some of the features of my old theme that I can’t live without.
For now, though, the blog should be looking fine and readable on all browsers. Comments are welcome as always.

Hello Scott,
I had a look at your theme (before you switched it) when you e-mailed me, but didn’t have the time to respond.
The reason why your theme was likely borked in IE7 is because you had a function call in your sidebar which was causing a fatal error.
I don’t remember the exact function it was, but it had to do with a weather widget (or something of that nature). I’m almost certain that if you removed that code, your previous theme would have been fine.
And a quick tip whenever you’ll be adding new plugins which require modification, always add the “if(function_exists(‘plugin_function’))” before the “plugin_function()” code to avoid any errors of that nature in the future.
Hope that helps,
Diva

In my browser, the writing is all, and I mean almost the first letter is missing on every row, squidged up on the left side. But it might just be me.
