My first attempt at a new theme
Well, I think I've almost successfully implemented the new Swollen Pickles theme. I'm sure there are a few kinks that need to be ironed out of the next couple of days, but fingers crossed, I think I'm fairly close. If you spot any bugs please let me know, and if you also know how to fix them, I'd appreciate it if you could give me some tips as well.
One thing I have noticed is that it looks how it is intended to when viewed in Firefox, however, in IE7 it has a couple of issues. For example the footer formating in terms of the font size and style changes in IE for some strange reason. Hopefully I can figure that one out! In any case, I use FireFox 99% of the time, so if you don't like the way this looks in IE, download FireFox, I'm sure you'll like it a whole lot better!
The themes front page, magazine style layout is largely from the Visionary Theme, which I quite like. Using that as the base I went ahead and modified the hell out of it to incorporate some of the other elements I like. The massive footer is one of these things, plus a semi-rotating sidebar. I made use of a few different plugins, like Popularity Contest and Rate My Posts, and incorporated the output of these into the theme to display the top 3 posts of all time etc.

looks like paris hilton’s camel toe will forever reign supreme on your front page as the most popular post of all time. muff said.

i like the new layout… i like things to stay “fresh!”
i have one problem though, maybe it’s just me… but i am looking for a pickle!
I love the theme and the way you have adapted it – very professional looking
I still have a Christmas theme up, having planned to launch a brand new gleaming theme on 1st January. I have not yet even designed it.
Good luck! It took me far longer than I’d anticipated!! But swollenpickles has always been an evolving beast.
