I would like to use evanescence. Is it OK with the most recent version of wordpress?
Hi,
Evanesence is a great clean them.
How can you set the width of you blog? It creates a problem if you have a larger monitor eg 23″
Thanks

Great fluid theme works just nicely, a wide layout is a must for a coders blog to be able to past code snippets. After using the theme for a few months though it’s starting to feel a little dull, needs just a little more zing!
Hi
I’ve just started using WP and I’m using Evanescence with WP3. I have an RSS widget in the sidebar which doesn’t show up. If I view the Page Source, it goes straight from the Archive widget I’ve placed before the RSS one to the Pages widget I put after the RSS one. Any help appreciated!
Srini, I just wanted to thank you for this theme, after trying various other themes yours is the one I like best! Everything works great for me. I especially like the fuidity of the wide layout. My code fits just right. Also please accept my humble contribution into your PP for your much greater effort.
Thanks again, Cris
Hi Srini.
I am a student who maintains a blog for a professor. I’ve chosen to use your evanescence theme, which I think looks brilliant. I’m just learning css and such, so I do not know how to fix three problems I am having. I was hoping you could give me a hint.
First, the title of our blog needs to be a bit bigger. What do I change to enlarge it a bit? And the subtitle is lost as the blue washes out to white. I like the look of the washout a lot, but it is too hard to read the small text. Any suggestions?
Second, I have add a follow/share plugin so that users can recommend it to other academics. The default style seems to want to put a bullet point above each share link (ie, facebook, twitter, email). How do I get rid of these bullets?
Third, I want to make the text just a bit darker. I don’t know where to start on this issue.
I know you must be busy, so if you can’t help out then I understand. But any help you give would be greatly appreciated.
Regardless, I think your choices of color and movement for this theme are fantastic.
