For my second submission to Ben Scheirman's theme contest I have a second entry.  Inspired by my recent excursion to the Noblesville 4H Fair Grounds, I submit to you Tractor Pull!

DasBlog Theme: Dandelion

Thursday, July 12, 2007 10:35:03 PM (US Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)

For the upcoming release of dasBlog, Ben Scheirman announced a theme contest. I have an entry.  I call it Dandelion.

You can see it active on this site (as of this writing at least, who knows what the future holds).

It has been tested on IE 6 & 7, FireFox, and Opera.  Loosely based on the Kubrick theme (Michael Heilemann's design ported to dasBlog by John Forsythe), this theme holds an image on the top above two columns and a footer.  I enjoy themes with a replaceable main image.  When I return to the world of fast internet (I'm currently connected at 26kbaud at my in-laws) I will upload the PhotoShop file. Here is the Photoshop file:

The theme and accompanying Photoshop file are licensed under the GPL.

The design is based on a fixed-width of 900 pixels.  This allows the main column to provide about 600 pixels of blogging space.  I often wish to post pictures 480 pixels wide and previous themes have made that challenging.

The menu area currently holds just the search widget, but would be a fine place to add links to other pages on your site.

Enjoy the theme and let me know what you think!

Congratulations, you've installed DasBlog!
