Some of you have noticed that the blog history on the right hand side is weirdly formatted in contrast with the neat left-align of all other content menus.
This is not something I'm currently able to do anything about without writing my own macro for generating the history menu.
The reason for this deficiency is that the dasBlog macro which generates the table, does just that. It generates a table, with inline style!
I thought the whole point of theming was that a theme provided the style, but obviously this is not the case. I have a great respect for Scott Hanselman, having been to one of his talks at TechED, but whoever wrote the code for generating these menus - shame on you.
Of course dasBlog also doesn't comply with XHTML standards, in either content body (hard to do) or even in those macros themselves, so I already know it's not perfect - you may have also noticed I don't have the standards menu to the left hand side of this page either.
I just feel they should have approached the design of this slightly differently. I know that the majority of people out there just use the default themes, but I'm not like that. I like consistency, it makes me happy and I've taken great care in making sure the theme for the blog matches that on the rest of the site.
Foiled by somebody elses mistake. It's always the way :)
