			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>wp_monochrome is my first attempt at designing a wordpress theme. I&#8217;m using it on this blog right now, so if you&#8217;re reading this from a feed reader, you might want to drop by and see what it looks like.</p>
<p>It is a simple theme composed almost entirely of shades of grey. The theme works fine in all modern browsers and (surprise, surprise) even works on Internet Explorer 6 except for the archives/categories/pages dropdowns in the header.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve used HTML5 in the theme and some CSS3 features like border-radius in some places, so it looks slightly different in mozilla- and webkit-based browsers. I&#8217;ve seen a huge improvement in the loading time of my blog when compared to themes I&#8217;ve used earlier.</p>
<p>I did plan to keep a theme options page initially, but I&#8217;ve been incredibly busy for a while now and never got around to doing that. Hopefully, I&#8217;ll be able to provide some simple theme options in v0.2. Top priority is for choosing to display full posts or excerpts in the front page and a twitter feed in the right side of the header.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking for thoughts on how I could improve this theme and also on the HTML5 semantics I&#8217;ve used here. Please do take a look at the theme and leave a comment about it.</p>
