I hadn’t noticed that WordPress sticks some extra stuff in the sidebar code that makes it look funny. I’ll hunt that down and fix it as soon as I can. In the mean time, please save yourself a lot of pain and get a real browser like everyone else. Thank you.

I found it via a Flickr group for “wallpapers” (images suitable for use as desktop backgrounds) aggregated via a list of wallpaper sites on Smashing Magazine.

Hope you like it, since it’s the default for personal.flurf.net now. Once I’ve made a few more alternative themes, I’ll make it possible for individual blog owners to choose their own. As always, if you have any suitable images, 96 pixels high by at least a thousand pixels wide, let me know and I’ll see if I can use them too.

If and when he gives it, I’ll make it the default on personal.flurf.net, because it beats the current Trees theme hands-down. If anyone else has a slice of graphic gorgeousness 96 pixels high and at least 1000 pixels wide, please let me know and I’ll make it an option too. The more the merrier, once I get a rudimentary XenoTheming feature working.

If you look at my primary site, flurf.net, you’ll see that the styles here are identical. Gods willing, you’ll see them working identically well in all manner of modern browsers too, but frankly if you’re using Internet Explorer I can’t promise that cosmetic repairs will ever have much priority. Get Firefox and stop wasting your time.

If you want a blog on personal.flurf.net, you only need to mail me and ask. Read the articles here on why and how you would do this, and you should be ready to go. If you encounter any problems, I’ll fix them. That’s all!
