The plugin works great, and does get the job done, however there is a funny bug, its wrapping the asides into the content when displayed on index… you can see the posts here: http://popupon.com/2009/11/awesome-redesigns/ and here: http://popupon.com/2009/11/2009-web-design-tribute/ any ideas?

Great design Chris! I think being able to tweak post-specific layouts has a lot of potential. Keep up the good work. I also just heard there is a new open font format coming out soon: WOOF, it seems it will help us all as well.

Tell you the truth, I barely test in IE 6 for anything – I don’t think it has anything to do with experience, he may not have cared right now;)

I can’t believe an amateur like me is telling you this, but have you tested the new design in IE6 ? I’m using IETester and there are many problems. For instance:
- Top navigation button are not clickable.
- Tabs of Explore, Poll, FAQ etc. are not visible.
- Avatars are not absolute positioned at 11px, 9px as they are supposed to be looking at the css; but they are overlapping the the comments’ text.

I think there is something going wrong with IETester ?! Is it that unreliable ?

Anyway, I really profit from your lessons. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Seriously lacking compared to the css-tricks site. Sorry!

Oh, and this at the top of the page:
global $wp_query; $post_id = $wp_query->post->ID; ?>

hmmm… that didn’t show the code here, let’s try special characters…:
id="post_"

Looks great, and I’m going to have to check out that plugin – I’ve been doing:
id="post_"

To call a unique id per post outside the loop and then updating my CSS file… although clean, that is getting annoying, thanks for the tip!
