Our blog has a new look-and-feel!

Along with merging GUI.NET with Software Federation, it was time for a new theme that wasn’t so, how shall we put it, well, it was more of an anti-theme than anything. It’s sole goal was to use as much of the screen real-estate for content as possible.

This new theme was chosen to both match Software Federation’s new Web 2.0-ish look and feel, as well as for me to have the opportunity to play around with magazine-ish look-and-feels in anticipation of an upcoming product we have been planning to build for some time now.

The theme we chose is the Morning After theme. A review of this theme can also be found here.

This theme has a lot of cool features, like featured posts and asides, and lots of functionality which we have not yet begone to explore (we just updated Wordpress and installed the theme late yesterday). So far, we have been mostly replacing floats with divs and tables so that when we use font sizes large enough for people who are on the high side of 40, the layout is preserved.

Otherwise, the PHP seems very well designed and my overall impression at this point is very favorable. We hope that your impression is likewise - but if not, please let us know!
