If you’re visiting abeolson.com, you may notice some changes in the scenery. I’m developing my first wordpress theme, based off a design inspiration from BenGillbanks.com. I started with Kubrick, cut a bunch out, added a bunch of my own and borrowed from else where to assemble this theme, dubbed SimpleCity. Since the main push, I’ve been tweaking here and there for the past few weeks, and by now most of the main styling is complete. There are still a few color inconsistencies, and the comments need some help, but other than that the theme is working out alright. It’s hard to get everything right when I don’t have much time or experience. Also, I’ve been developing purely in Firefox3, so I have no idea what it will look like on other browsers.

What do people think? Is the image based navigation confusing? Internet Explorer throw some massive errors? Colors not what you’d pick?

Thanks in advance for any feedback. I’ll be releasing this theme with a GPL license once it’s done to my satisfaction. Alternatively, if anyone wants to pick this up and really make it shine, that’d be fine with me, just let me know.
