I spent most of today updating the Radical Congruency 2005 theme, which you can download here.
Fixes and tweaks in this release (2005-12-04):
- Made center column’s width more consistent between Firefox and Internet Explorer; eliminated 20px gap on right side in Firefox
- Made post-title background image wider, to accomodate change in center column width
- Added min-height to blockquotes, so the
image doesn’t get cut off for one-line quotes. Also fixed some padding and margin issues with blockquotes - Clicking on banner now takes you to current site’s home page (used to be hardcoded to RadicalCongruency.com)
- Blog description in page title now uses bloginfo tag, rather than being hardcoded
- Added JavaScript to search box, which clears contents so you can type without erasing “Search this site” manually. Also tweaked size of font and box.
- Made a few changes to footer (though you’ll still need to edit it to include your own copyright/Creative Commons notice and such)
- Moved sidebars into sidebar.php, for compliance with plugin API (sidebars were previously part of the footer)
- Added KICKIN’ JavaScript to convert post/comment timestamp to user’s local timezone (thanks, Aaron!)
This theme is great for several reasons:
- It’s three columns, but the center column is first in the HTML, so your posts (rather than sidebar junk) get more attention from the Googlebot.
- It’s set up for use with great plugins, like Ultimate Tag Warrior - I even included the Ajax add-tag box
- All of the plugin calls are conditionalized, so if you deactivate one, it won’t break the site
- You can click on the banner to go to the home page (amazing how many themes leave that out)
- It’s the only theme in the world that displays post and comment time in the user’s timezone (thanks to Aaron’s fancy JavaScript)
- I support it, and even pre-install it if I host your WordPress-powered site
Check it out, and let me know if you find any bugs. Enjoy.

I’m on a global mission to discover the best Themes & design available. This looks to be in that category.
Thanks
I love your theme and am using it on my blog. But, I just noticed that all my categories lead back to your site.
And I can’t figure out why.
Could you tell me how to fix this?
