Wesley's Tool-Box Theme...

Recently, I decided that the design of my website reached a certain 'it
looks okay' status... so I decided to post it on the showcase now.

Wesley's Tool-Box is a website I run to post all sorts of stuff...
originally about computer hardware, but apparently I've moved onto
other things as well.

I tried to create a clean, flat looking design that isn't really based on any
previous theme in particular. Very early in the design process I wanted to
use green, but it didn't turn out so well, and now it's pretty much an
all-bluish theme.

Navbar, copyright notice, and advertisements were placed using the
HTML page nugget plugin that I created because I wanted to leave the
default templates as much as possible. Currently, the only template that
had been customized is the calendar, because I wanted to show the time
frame in year-month order. Default month-year order does not look well
with Korean language, but '2005 July' doesn't look nice in English, so as
a compromise they're placed in a separate line like a lot of real-world
calendar does.

This theme is now uploaded to CVS repository at additional_themes/toolbox.

Looks nice, but when I look at an entry the body part gets to witdh. It is then larger than the header.

That's something that seem to occur sometimes with Mozilla-based
browsers. It doesn't happen with IE or Safari. A refresh should be able to
restore the width back to normal.

Now, it's not the fault of the theme, but rather I'm suspecting that it's
caused by the Google ad that's in the indivisual entry page. Gecko HTML
rendering engine might be having trouble adjusting <div> length somehow.

I edited the HTML nugget that contains the ad now. It should not 'widen'
anymore. Can you check?
