I’m trying out the WordPress theme P2. I really like it. What’s interesting is that it doesn’t show post titles. Disconcerting, at least when the humor of the previous three posts depending on their titles being shown… Oops!

K9 WordPress Theme

I’m experimenting with the K9 WordPress theme. It’s written by Safirul Alredha, or “Zeo” of K2 fame, and is based on the K2 WordPress theme. After a little investigation, I’ve found that K9 leaves out a bunch of K2’s functionality:

The latest nightly (v378) of the K2 theme for WordPress (which blogan.net currently uses) changes the CSS selectors for a triple column layout from sidebar-dual to columns-three.
