Well, it’s finally here, after some tinkering and re-coding to WP 2.0 template standards. It looks pretty nice if I do say so myself. And to Logan who always complains about dark layouts, this one is just right for you, with a nice blend of darks and whites to make it pleasing (I hope).
Anywho, there’s still much to be done. A lot of links are broken, and some pages are just straight-up dead. That’s because I’m still working on them. I made the theme go live so you guys can love it, hug it, compliment it, criticize it, hate it, use it to your heart’s desire, and etc. while I’m working in the background.
In the coming week, everything will be finished — I hope, and I’ll be able to do other things by then.
If you haven’t noticed, the structure of the site is going through some slight — no, drastic — changes. Some categories will be removed; others changed. One addition is the fact that I’ll be using this site to host my StepMania simfiles now, instead of relying on generous communities like Bemanistyle or Flash Flash Revolution. So if you’re a fan of my stepfiles (of which I hope you certainly are if you play StepMania), stop by this site for new simfile additions and updates.
If you have any bugs or errors to report regarding the theme, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Ciao.

Hey Alan, nice theme, although I’m not too sure I like the city skyline at the top…
My only criticism on the functionality of the theme is that when you hover over the links in the header it takes a few seconds for the images to load — I think you should join the normal state and hover state pictures and just change the position on hover (Can’t remember the name of that method, but I’m sure you have used it before). That way there will be no waiting for them to load when you hover on them
Sorry to double post, but it seems your gravatars might be messed up too, since it has used Vyx’s gravatar for my previous comment, unless you have just used his as a default (don’t see why you would though).
The plugin has problems fetching gravatars because I do not have the appropriate URL retrieval libraries installed. I’ll talk to Caleb regarding that. *hint hint*
Edit: The swap method sounds like a good idea, however I’ll probably just employ old-skool usage of JavaScript image pre-loading schemes — just like the good old days when JavaScript was widely used for rollovers. Still a viable method today.
I told you the skyline looked out of place… *agrees with other guy*.
Anyway, the rest looks good though.
