I'll look into that one, and can alter the h3 colour on the right. I should have changed these before as I'm the same, not a same fan of having non clickable text and links the same colour. Too busy getting my own bits into the theme I guess! :D Hey Jem, I'll get a theme switcher in as soon as I have a chance! ;) Thanks for your points, I see what you mean about the line-height.

I have a couple of complaints (sorry!) though - 1) The line-hight seems awfully cramped? I have a thing for nicely spaced paragraphs though, so that might just be me being anal ;) 2) The sidebar header colour is identical to the links and this confuses my teeny tiny brain into thinking they're clickable. I'll stop whining now ;) Hmm, I like the new theme (not as much as the old one, but like it all the same). I have a couple of complaints (sorry!) though –

The cool thing about the HP plugin is that if you are on the index it automatically selects all posts to print, if you click on the print posts button from a specific post it defaults to selecting only that post to print, etc. Check it out, it does a pretty good job of making print formatted PDFs of your posts.

The admin plugin is very handy and just means less disruption to your visitors, or an alternative is if you just want to use a different theme to your visitors (for whatever reason!). I like the look of the new theme though :) Si, sure let me know once your preview is up. As for this design, well I started to find the double sidebar was a bit cluttered. I think the order of the sidebar, my stuff up top first, is a good order. Of course tastes are different and I will be getting around to adding a theme switcher so you'll be welcome to change back if you want :) As for printable pages, my first job is to make it accessible to PDAs and mobiles. A printable option will come after that, for the time being just highlight what you want to print and print the selection ;) Cheers Chance.
