I tried a minimalistic theme before, but ended up disliking it because of the lack of sidebar functionality. This is a new theme that’ll open some more possibilities for added content, and “extra’s” in the sidebar. Here’s a list of changes that were made.

  • Updated theme (if it looks the same as before, try CTRL + F5 to refresh)
  • Support for Gravatar enabled[

  • Featured Posts – the ability to keep a certain post “highlighted”, without it getting pushed to the back instantly
  • Disabled the rel="nofollow” on comments. A blog without interaction is like a browser without an internet connection – pretty useless. Comments made can get linkjuice back to their site, if you provide a URL with any comment you post. I’ll keep a closer look at the comments though – to prevent spamming.
  • Updated title “Defining Chaos In Order” to replace good’ol “All your blog are belong to us”

If you see room for improvement, make sure to leave a message – I like the current theme, but of course – tastes differ. Anything you would add?
