Finally, Crunching Numbers has received its much-needed facelift, and it now touts a layout that actually resembles its title.

You're probably wondering why this reconfiguration was even needed. (If you aren't, you have my permission to skip down to the comments link, where you will leave comments telling me how wonderful the layout looks.) One huge problem that existed in the previous theme (called Copyblogger, if any WP users are interested) was that it didn't render correctly in IE 6. Since most Windows users who visit my site use IE 6, that was obviously a problem. This layout is much simpler, relying more on old-school HTML tricks, and some CSS for the finer details. Now everyone can view my correct opinions in all their hyper-text glory.

Another issue was the fact that the previous theme had absolutely nothing to do with, well, crunching numbers. It was awfully generic, and one could just tell that it was just a pre-packaged, tacky theme straight out of the box (or ZIP archive, if you prefer). This theme matches the blog much better, most notably because of the numeric navigation links (go ahead, roll your mouse over those JavaScripted bad boys).

And to give credit where it's due, many thanks to Steph for designing the banner/navigation at the top

Let me know what you think of the new layout in the comments!
