New Layout For simb.net
I have been contemplating a new layout for my site for a bit. But in truth I am just not a creative person. So I decided since Leorex is kind enough to make the Aura skin freely available, I would use their work.
The picture of the tree is one my wife took when we went to seattle to see Sean speak earlier this month.
I think that I like this template enough that the next simblog release will also use it. Feel free to leave design comments, as I am certainly not a designer :)

Very nice.
To pull the content in the sidebar off the left shadow, edit r/g/aura_screen_layout.css to change the #sidebar margin or padding-left values. I can’t recall exactly what I did there, but I’m pretty sure this is the right place to look. Managing the 3 Aura style sheets and BlogCFC style sheet for little things like this is what get’s to me.
Very nice, but it doesn’t validate, both XHTML and CSS…
I love what you have done with the place! The red against the white was a little abrasive before. But this is very soothing. I also dig what you did with that picture I took. Funny how something I clicked on a whim ended up being something you could use as a masthead!
Thanks steven for the heads up on the menu on the side. i had actually updated that on my dev machine but not uploaded. As always I appreciate the heads up though.
Gatzby, I see that you are correct, it doesnt validate. However the content that is a problem is all related to the autoformat in the blog.cfc entry routine. I shall work on changing that to see if I can make it validate. but for now, I have removed the links so that no one will think I am trying to say I am valide :)
