Design: Theme

I have been trying to figure out how to change my theme around a bit lately. When Laura at Pursuing Holiness pointed out her latest theme I, doing the most Christian thing I could think of, stole it. I now have running a modified version of blog.txt and like it so far. Although things aren’t running completely smoothly, it seems to work. Could anyone offer any suggestions / comments /tips / etc. either by emailing me or leaving a comment here. Did you even notice that there was a change? ;) Are the drop-down menus in the right column still intuitive? Is there any way I could easily (and cleanly) make it obvious the clicking a menu will open it up?

EDIT: I changed the menu links from small caps to normal. What do you folks think about small caps for post titles?

    Laura:

    What’s remarkable is how different the same theme looks on both our blogs. :-) Good job on customizing it!

    I think it’s clear that clicking the menu exposes more info, users are getting pretty accustomed to that kind of thing.

    Thanks for the compliment Laura! That is one great thing about CSS, we can both make it into our own without having to actually build it from ground up. :)

I got rid of the shoutbox (for now) because it wasn't working right. Hopefully I will get that fixed soon. You may have noticed that I have been changing things around a bit. Hopefully this theme looks good and works well. If you notice any bugs or things that need to be fixed or just look better, just let me know (or leave a comment)! The header images (there are 34 in rotation right now!) are pictures that I have taken over the last few years.
