Blix WordPress Theme – Update
A theme option has been added to allow the sidebar to appear on pages. The original Blix theme design only shows the sidebar on posts.
Bug fixes include clearing floating elements from the comment link line, removing the default width for form input and textareas, and hiding overflow in the sidebar.

Blix WordPress Theme – Update
I have added an administration panel with a few theme options. You can now configure the layout to be fixed width or flexible width, whether pages are added to the horizontal navigation menu or a page menu in the sidebar, and whether the navigation menu shows sub-pages.
Bug fixes include showing and highlighting the correct pages in the horizontal navigation menu when the front page is set to a static page.

Blix WordPress Theme – Update
Several bugs have been fixed.
Missing translation messages have been fixed. I have tried to use only messages in the official WordPress POT file. Please let me know of any I missed.
The navigation menu now expands and wraps around to the next row if there are more pages than fit in one row.
Some styling issues with elements have been fixed.
There is still a problem with Internet Explorer 7 in the fluid width layout’s header.

Blix WordPress Theme – Update
Fixed Blix and Fluid Blix are now combined in one Blix theme download. There are style sheets for both fixed width and flexible width layouts.
Fluid Blix is now using a flexible width layout based on the method in the article, In Search of the Holy Grail, at A List Apart. Previously, the layout was based on The Perfect Fluid Width Layout which required the workaround of placing the sidebar before the main content in the HTML code. With the new method, both the fixed width and flexible width layouts can use the same HTML and PHP code.
The About ‘Shorty’ has been fixed to appear on the main page if it exists. Mini-entries have also been tested and are working. For instructions on how to use these, read the READ ME.
Other bug fixes include fixing the comment anchor link from the Recent Comments widget and the respond anchor link to leave a comment.
