It’s official! The Stevish 2 Final theme (for WordPress 1.5) (screenshot) is avaliable for download. There is a ton of new features jam packed into this one little theme, but instead of telling you about all of them, I’ll just tell you the one I’m the happiest about: WORKING TRANSPARENT BACKGROUNDS IN INTERNET EXPLORER!!!. It took me two full days of frustrating research and php nightmares, but I finally found a way to get it to work while maintaining a site with valid CSS and XHTML.

As usual, I can’t take all the credit for this milestone success (as I see it). I have to thank once again for all his ideas and guidance. It was while on the phone with him that I discovered how to finally get the IE transparency working perfectly. So thanks again, :mrgreen:. I also have to thank A List Apart for the coding help. The page in that link is a great resource for info on how to make PNG files transparent in IE. Getting your code to validate however, is a whole ‘nother animal, which I will post about in the near future.

I best be off now. My little brother and I are going to rent Fat Albert. Have fun!
