Tweaked SimplyVic Theme
For those of you who have Dreamhost web hosting and thought the Simply-Vic Wordpress theme that comes pre-installed was classy but a bit confining, check out the recent modifications I’ve made to the theme on this very site. I’ve enlarged the graphics so that the layout is 1000px wide, enlarged the text significantly, and eliminated the awful “sIFR” text replacement technique that, while making (slightly) prettier text, causes pages to load much more slowly because a new flash applet is launched for each bit of text being replaced.
Feel free to grab any/all of the styles and images from this page, and if you want a copy of the templates you can download an archive: Modified Simply-Vic Wordpress Theme. It’s GPL, so feel free to modify and redistribute. Also, let me know in the comments what you think of my modifications.

I’m not sure if it did as of the writing of this post (about a year ago) but it’s very simple. Here is the complete contents of sidebar.php for this blog right now:
</div>
<div id=”sidebar”>
<ul>
<?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
