Theme: Barcode

This evening I decided that my Red Book had gone neglected for altogether too long. It was time to make a backup of the database, time to (finally) upgrade to WordPress 1.5.3, and of course time to make a new theme. It’s pathetic, really; Eric has had the Necktie of Insidious Motives in his possession for so long that my blog theme went out of style. For those of you who just can’t get enough of that grooving yellow strip of silk (or polyester, or whatever the wretched thing is constructed of), you should still be able to use my handy-dandy Theme Switcher in the newly-relocated sidebar. (In a contest between a grocery store receipt and a sidebar full of navigation links, you know which one is going to win every time. Navigation is for ninnyhammers anyway.)
So here is Barcode. Note the complete and utter absence of color. And yes, those barcodes are being dynamically generated, each and every one is different, and they all actually mean something in Code 3 of 9.
As usual, I am altogether too lazy to boot into Windows and test the theme in Internet Explorer. If any of you happen to be using MSIE at the moment, then shame on you, and feel free to drop a line here telling me how badly the site renders. I will in turn laugh at you, thank you, and tell you that it looks fabulous in a standards-compliant browser.
Uh oh. According to “scientific creationist” Kent Hovind, your blog now has the mark of the Beast! ;-)

oh, bravo! A beastly theme for a beastly Red Book. Anything to keep the dispensationalists employed. Kent Hovind may actually be crazier than Lucille Keppen. It’s a close race. I wonder if he’s shot anybody recently.
Hahaha. :-)
What’s scary is that they show his videos at both my sister and my parents church pretty regularly. (And they like them!) I don’t know why people find him so facinating. Even some people at our church have been trading around his videos. All I can say is that if anyone tries to show them at our sunday school, I will be protesting to all the elders until it stops! :-)
