I used to have a bad terrible, terrible habit of reading, doing crossword puzzles, playing games on my mobile, etc., while I was on the can.
I used to enjoy sneaking away for a good 10, 15 minutes of my day, alone with my thoughts (and crossword book) and the porcelain throne. The last few weeks, however, I’d grown to dread confronting that looming beast of a seat: the combination of poor diet and excessive sitting had manifested itself as a thrombosed hemorrhoid.
Update:
All right, so the problem wasn’t IE per se (yes, it was); rather, it was an unspecified width attribute in the style declaration. Which worked fine in FireFox. Less so in IE. Regardless, it appears to be fixed now.
Update:
Almost everything works! In FireFox — and it’s mostly working in IE, but the way the comment numbers are displayed is wonky. I’m guessing it has something to do with the way IE wrangles absolutely- and relatively-positioned <DIV>s. I don’t like it! 
If you happen to know how to fix it, please let me know!
Other than that, although not everything has been throroughly tested, most things look like you’d I’d expect them to look.
Progress!
I’m sure you’re shocked — shocked! — to see this brand-spanking new theme. Seven or eight minutes has come and gone. I should have been here sooner.I started this theme from scratch. Ish. After doing what I should have done in the first place, I focused on what I really wanted to accomplish with the site. After finally experiencing astigmatism with no goals in mind, I focused on something else: making it look nice, and, potentially, making a theme that could actually be used by others (it seems only fair).
I keep thinking I was going to write something witty here, but I guess I’m not.
Merry Christmas!
While I was helping Will open his presents this morning, our cat Halle decided to poke around, which is odd, because she’s normally busy “poking around” under the bed, away from the unwashed masses consisting of us lesser bipeds (and her “big brother,” Ashe).
God bless us, every one!
