Okay so here it is. I’ve set up a live preview for you to have a look at the theme and so any modifications, additions, alterations, bugs whatever will be talked about it there.

Manji2 Live Preview

The structure was changed slightly for Manji2. The sidebar content code was nicked from the WP default. This is just to fill in space until I sort it out the way I'd actually like it to behave, so I might include another foreign scripts (much like the javascript code for the comment buttons). This is to make full use of the extra width and sidebar element of the design. After all there has to be a point to the sidebar right? It'll be incorporated in such a way that you guys can take it and do whatever you want with it.

If you leave a comment please thank Joshua as he’s 90% responsible for actually getting the code out to everyone. I’d have still been struggling with all sorts of issues, so Joshua you’re the man!!!

This is a 1.0 beta release, however expect only certain files to be changed; as I do want to tweak the aforementioned sidebar elements, and possibly clean up the css ever so slightly. You’ll notice a few hacks in there as well. That’s to make it all work in IE, which is a royal pain in the backside. Cross-browser issues really are a pain in the ass.

As you know very well there’s always more to do, however this release is pretty close. There might be some minor changes in the future, but that’s general tweaks. If we find a way to work around hacks, and a few other issues, there might be some structural changes in the index.php file. From our part we’ll make sure we post clearly what the changes are.

You can go download it now from the usual Manji download page.
