Comments on: Ported my old geek blog’s theme to Wordpress http://www.spugbrap.com/blog/2007/09/ported-my-old-geek-blogs-theme-to-wordpress/ This is a repository for my favorite scripts, regexes, commandlines, utilities, code snippets, tips, and other geeky things that might be useful to someone googling for an obscure solution some day. It's also a place to share my thoughts about companies I've dealt with, my favorite lifehacks, observations of interesting human behavior, clever and/or evil marketing schemes I've run across, and anything else I feel compelled to write about.

You have no idea how hard I have been looking for a theme with rounded boxes like this. I'm new to WordPress, but I just love the clean style this has. I was wondering if you would be willing to make the theme available if I promise fervently to fully credit and link you? :) Of course I'll change the colors, header, and other bits ... but the little rounded parts make me happy. :) Many thanks!

I made an initial attempt at removing the underline from the sidebar links, after reading your comment a few weeks ago. I never got around to finishing it. If you look at the sidebar, though, you can see that the bottom sections are no longer underlined. I think the top ones needed a little more effort, because they are displayed in a totally different manner behind the scenes. @Ryan Somma:

I do agree with Clint that removing the underlines from the links would look nicer. It's an easy addition to your CSS for A tags: text-decoration:none; Should do it. : ) I like this look, it’s clean, yet colorful.

I've fixed that, now. As for the underlined links, the original "Rounders 3" template was like that, as well, but I agree that it's kind of excessive. I will look into changing the link styles in the near future. I also reduced the number of Recent Posts and Recent Comments in the sidebar, removed a redundant "About Me" link, and condensed the Categories and Archives sidebar sections into select boxes, since they were both taking up WAY too much space.
