The issue I always run into with different styles is that most styles are not, apparently, made for those that want to display code that doesn’t then bleed onto other content. The solution always requires adding something to the .css, which tends to be like such for me:
pre {
font-family:monospace;
display:block;
background:#eef;
white-space:pre;
}
code {
font-family:monospace;
display:block;
background:#eef;
overflow:auto;
white-space:pre;
}I should be fair, cause I didn’t check the posts in the VB6 category until I switched from the default K2 style to the headless style, which is interesting, but I don’t know if I want to keep it or not. I think the lack of a header forces the site name (and optional description) to be only as long as it needs to be. That, and instead of having a banner image, you can use a 210px x 300px image, which give you more options.
Anyway, in order to get the code to display properly, I need to use the Code Markup plugin, which appears to be compatible with WP 2.3 (from what I can tell). I guess my only issue with it is that I have to write the code with <pre><code> at the beginning and </code></pre> at the end, but I guess the way it has to be for now. At least there’s a plugin available to resolve the issue.
The headless design makes for an interesting look. I like the ability to have larger images in my header and the name and slogan of the site displayed (though I have that as part of my header image rather than displayed by Wordpress), but the look of your site is pretty cool.
I am considering switching to a 2 column look to simplify my site a bit and force me to remove stuff from the sidebars, but I kind of like having all that stuff there.
After looking at some CSS to do what you did your your header, I realized that your site name was part of the header, which then made me furious that I tried to find a way to do it via CSS. I did have to edit the header.php in the k2/style folder so that I could make the image clickable, I just have decided if I want to put the site name in there or not, as that would require some image editing, and all I have at the moment is MS Paint.
The wider images is something I might mis, but I considered that it ultimately gives me more options as to what I can put in there without having to zoom in. However, I do like the ability to stitch images together for panoramic views, so I might change back sometime too.
There’s an easy solution… GIMP.
I like it better than Photoshop, mainly because it’s free, but it’s also easy to use.
