Sweet theme for Mint that’s black text on a white background using very simple shades for graphs.

Sorry About Those Pages Up There.
Hm.
Rather unfortunately, it looks as though my template plans have been thwarted a bit by a bug in WordPress. Pages aren’t supposed to belong to categories or have tags, but all Pages created automatically have their taxonomy set to the default post category.
This has the unfortunate effect of applying that default category style to two of my pages, which is not cool. I have to use the default category for my flickr posts, as the flickr blog post feature doesn’t allow you to select a category in which to dump your posts.
(I hope someone at flickr is paying attention. Giving us control over post categories—like del.icio.us does—would be a welcome addition.)
So in the meantime, you are unfortunately going to have to put up with two of my pages looking a bit like crap. I would go in and change their categories manually, but PairLite doesn’t seem to have an interface available for browsing the database, and I really don’t feel like configuring that right now.

There’s room for everybody out there. Lots of Internet means lots of roles to play and niches to fill.
It's Kind of Like a Change of Clothes, Only the Site Is Missing a Sock or Two
The acute of vision will notice that I just switched over the blog to a brand new theme that I’ve been developing in my spare time over the past couple of weeks. I was going to wait a touch longer to get a few more things in there, but I’ve grown to like it so much that I wanted to port it over, even if it’s not really done yet.
There are a few more things in my TODO list for the redesign, including fine-tuning the look of individual posts and pages, which right now are very hit-or-miss, and I have a couple more post styles that I haven’t added yet. I got around to styling my links posts this time (finally), so they wont’ look as ugly as they had before.
If you notice something out of sorts, let me know. It will be a couple of days before I have the opportunity to go back over the stuff I’ve missed, but I’ve had a lot of fun working with this redesign to integrate the tumble-like style I’d been working with into a new aesthetic. It’s very monochromatic, and any use of color is there to draw your attention intentionally. There’s only one image in the theme of any kind, and it’s my first attempt in a very long time at a pure-CSS layout.
