3 All donations go to getting my aunt a new kidney food, rent and whatever else I feel like buying with it
Currently, my donations page is just a link to my wifes donate page we share a bank account so it doesn’t really make a difference. Please, don’t think i’m only out for the sweet bling bling donations. It’d just be dumb not to offer people the option of donating if they want.
Mostly, I want to know if anyone is using my stuff & how much they like it.
4 your relatives won’t care

I love what you’ve done with the place :D
so what your saying is i—the wife, should open my own account and make sure all the donations from that page go into that account? :) muhhhhaaaaaa that was evil laughter by the way
but in all seriousness—it looks good, i’d definetely be willing to donate $4.20 to the cause, maybe even go as high as $4.30, but i really don’t know what that would do to you so … well since it would come out of your account and all $4.40—final offer
Minor update live.
I’d forgotten to strip out the
http://subtlegradient.combefore all my images insubtletheme_IE55.cssoops
Another minor update.
Links in comments weren’t being colored properly.
A major update.
All versions prior to this would not have styled the post text at all. this version includes the slightly modified view that makes it all happen. ug!
go ahead and download the theme again
Fully supported in Firefox 1.5 Final Release
I just got this working on my website. I love the style (not to sure about the background) but I found that when you view a single article only a tiny box would appear.
Error: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `full_html’ for #<a rticle:0×40ac16d4 rel=”nofollow”>) on line #22 of themes/subtleTheme/views/articles/read.rhtml:
After much hunting I found the bug: <<views/articles/read.rhtml>> 22: < = @article.full_html > —needs to be 22: < = article_html(@article) >
I am running it off of TRUNK r801.

Excellent!
I’ll have to incorporate that change and make another download for trunk users.
Maybe I should make everything wider like you have it on your site. That looks pretty good.
Hi there,
Sorry, this is the only entry I could find to get in touch. I’d love porting your Subtletheme Typo theme to cough Wordpress. No ego-trip nor commercial initiative here, just for the love of it. Would you mind me doing so? Assuming your theme is released under the same MIT License as Typo is, I guess there would be no harm done, but not sure.
Many thanks in advance for your reply ;)
Sorry, forgot to mention, please feel free to contact me by email, and to trash these 2 comments afterwards ;)

More or less nothing seems important. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me recently. I can’t be bothered with anything recently, but such is life. My life’s been generally bland today. Not much on my mind these days, but eh. I just don’t have much to say right now, but I guess it doesn’t bother me. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. Nothing notable happening these days. Shrug. Not that it matters. My mind is like a void. I’ve basically been doing nothing , not that it matters. More or less nothing going on. I guess it doesn’t bother me. Not much on my mind.

I’ve just been staying at home doing nothing, but pfft. Today was a total loss, but oh well. I’ve pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning. Nothing notable going on. My life’s been generally dull today. So it goes. Not much on my mind to speak of. More or less nothing seems important. So it goes. Oh well. It’s not important. That’s how it is.

I’ve just been letting everything pass me by lately. Maybe tomorrow. Today was a complete loss, but that’s how it is. Eh. Oh well.
I haven’t gotten anything done. Whatever. I just don’t have anything to say.

I haven’t been up to much these days. Such is life. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me these days, but I don’t care.
I’ve just been letting everything wash over me. I’ve pretty much been doing nothing. I’ve just been sitting around not getting anything done.
