improving on perfection
The Barthelme theme for WordPress is close to absolute perfection.
My only minor reservation is that elements of the sidebar (Pages, Categories, Recent Comments) and the title of the Next/Previous posts appear in UPPER case.
This is one of my pet hates as it looks like SHOUTING which is RUDE and, IMHO (sic), is completely at odds with the minimalist, understated feel of the theme.
However, a quick edit in 'style.css' to change two occurrences of 'text-transform: none;' to 'text-uppercase: none;' fixed that.
My life is now complete. All that remains is to add 'CSS' to my CV.
