No. I don’t like it either.

But it has to stay the way it is for now. Maybe until the next night that I can’t sleep and I go about playing with (yet!) another new theme.

At least all that AJAX junk is gone. The verdict in Sneezy Manor on AJAXed WordPress is that it’s “more fekin trouble than it’s worth” - to make sure it didn’t break the blog I had to deactivate nearly all modules and the components of those that I didn’t forced me into hand-coding hacks in the themes.

Gone now, and good riddance. The only thing I really liked was being able to embed
(Show/Hide) this kind of stuff.

And just in case anyone’s disappointed that the auto-scroll-down to comments thing is gone, I’ve compenstated by adding options for you to Email posts and pages, and make printer-friendly renderings. Amn’t I very good to yez?

Okay, the colours are gank. The header images are poxy pansy yokes. And the divisions need a bit of tidying up - I single handedly refined the box-model as bollixed-model. You can tell me what else is wrong. But for now, for today, I am fixing nothing more.

Oh, I nearly forgot: Just to show there are no hard feelings over Lisbon, links to translations in the main European languages are available on the left floating-menu. And if you’re not bothered with Lisbon, then go play with the uppy-downy buttons on the same menu.

I like the spring clean you gave the place
- Jaezuz I only went away for a day and its all change
- I have some display probs though? - I’m using Firefox with Xp and my comments run off the page beyond vision and no I haven’t been on the turps again.

@Quickroute - I see from @Quickroute it was only a glitch. Thanks to the deities.

But do let me know if you notice anything else.

Hmm.
Not too bad. I’d suggest dropping the translations, though. Your prose doesn’t.

The German translation is worse than Michael O Leary on speed.

@aonghus - I watched the vid of O’Leary on YouTube. The poor interpretor was mortified.

Anyway. The translations came with the theme. My plan is to replace them with something more useful when I have time (and when I think of what). Leaving them there for the moment will remind me.

ps. On a related matter: The language my blog is translated into most is PRC Chinese. I haven’t the foggiest why.
