minimalism: planet caravan

Jun 30, 2010 10:14





EDIT 2: Chrome/Safari bug is FIXED! :D

I decided to play around with Minimalism here -- the bar on the side of each entry varies between five different colors, depending on the entry ID. It's actually a lot more randomized than it looks in the preview; it ended up going from darkest -> lightest purely out of coincidence. Surprisingly enough, it didn't break in IE.

(Btw, I'm pretty sure there's one thing I'm forgetting to fix in the stylesheet, or address here, but I can't remember what. I'll edit this once I do. 8|)
