Sitting Around

Thank you for downloading Sitting Around 1. If you like this one, please consider
downloading other themes I have designed. I was going for something different with
this theme. Instead of a header image, it has a fixed image to the left side. The
menu where you can switch to other parts of your website (photo gallery, etc.)
are in image form and in a white box to the upper right. If you have Firefox or
Opera (which are W3C compliant) this menu box does not scroll off the page; if
you use Internet Exploder (which is NOT W3C compliant) it will scroll off the
page but is still functional.

If you are using the excellent Headline Images plugin by Cold Forged, found at
http://www.coldforged.org/image-headlines-plugin-for-wordpress-15/ , this theme 
will take advantage of that for your blog's entry titles. If not, you will have 
typical text for your blog's entry titles. 

This theme is widgetized - I have included the following widget items:

 * A WeatherIcon widget (if you have the WeatherIcon plugin installed)
 * A BLaugh widget - the way I use this on my system is to call a function
   used in the ImageManager plugin, found at http://soderlind.no/ImageManager
   If you don't have the ImageManager plugin, the BLaugh plugin will not be
   an option for you to choose.
 * An MDV Recent Comments widget supporting Nick Momrick's excellent Recent
   Comments plugin, found at http://mtdewvirus.com/code/wordpress-plugins/ ;
   if you don't have Nick's Recent Comments plugin installed, the widget will
   not be an option for you to choose.
 * An MDV Recent Posts widget supporting Nick Momrick's excellent Recent Posts
   plugin, found at http://mtdewvirus.com/code/wordpress-plugins/ ; if you 
   don't have Nick's Recent Posts plugin installed, the widget will not be
   an option for you to choose.
 * A My Links widget, supporting displaying the blogroll; if you have WordPress
   version 2.1 or later installed, it uses the new blogroll display function
 * A My Archives widget which displays your archives as a drop-down list box
 * A My Search widget which displays the search sidebar item better than the
   standard one (IMHO)
 * A Meta Buttons widget, which displays the meta area in the sidebar using
   graphic buttons for nearly everything

To install this theme, simply unzip the theme file (which you have already done
if you are reading this) and FTP the contents of the "sittingaround1" folder and
its "images" and "buttons" subfolders to your WordPress themes folder. Then go 
to the "Presentation" area of the Admin Panel and select the Sitting Around 1
theme to activate it. If you want, then go to the "Sidebar Widgets" and set up
your sidebar in the order you wish.

If you like this theme, please put a link to my site somewhere or add me to your
blogroll. Thank you.
