I’ve been setting up blogs and wikis for myself for about two years now, and I’ve barely used any of them. Most of the time, setting up a new web app is just an excuse to make a new theme. I enjoy designing the sites a lot more than I enjoy actually blogging or wikiing. (Yeah, that’s right; I verbed it.)

So, true to form, this brand new installation of WordPress features a new theme. It looks a bit like a chocolate bar. It makes me both hungry and happy.

Fun Geek Fact #1: In order to get the css z-index to work properly, you need to also explicitly specify the position rule for the element. That’s how I managed to get the chocolate bar title underneath everything else.

Fun Geek Fact #2: When you use position:absolute; or position:fixed; for an element on your page, the top:200px; rule doesn’t seem to work in IE. I found that that using margin-top:200px; worked as an alternative.
