It looks like Pico wins something (yay!), so to celebrate here’s an update for it, bringing it to version 1.0.7. The improvements are:

• The home page now shows previous and next posts navigation links.
• Better top header menu, now using the bulletproof Page-based navigation technique.
• Better 404 page. Now shows a search box and some useful links.
• New widget area, Pico Single Bottom. It’s located right below a single Post, great for things like social sharing widgets, related posts, and so on.
• Style for Visual Editor (a.k.a WYSIWYRG), so the text you see on the editor looks more similar to the actual design, thanks to Oz’s guide.
• A bunch of typographic and design tweaks.

Download Pico directly here, or visit the theme’s landing page.

Enjoy!

Just did some small CSS tweaks to this site. Added more breathing space and removed some unnecessary elements. Went wider (990px) over the old one (960px).

This is more a “here’s when I played around with Firebug and ended up making the site look different from the local one” personal reminder post, not a “come over and take a look” one, but if you do find something breaks somewhere, kindly let me know.

Pico is updated to 1.0.5 fixing a bug report by Alberto. The download link is still the same (here, direct download to the zip file). Version 1.0.5 is also available on The Theme Directory’s SVN, this way.

Added a really small (literally, I’m just deleting a character) code tweak in that article to deal with a bug. Visit the updated post here, especially if you’ve used the code.

Just added a related posts section after the end of each post (here’s an example). For this functionality I’m going plugin-less and opt with this nifty code, which returns related posts based on tags. The code itself is based on the original code on WP Recipes, the difference being that the former is able to work with posts with multiple tags, while the original only cares about a post’s first tag.
