Version 1.2
Based on the original layout by Patricia Müller, this theme is what i used for the first few months on my own blog. since then, i’ve been using squible and K2, and been surprised by the steady stream of traffic from Vanilla Mist. So i’ve taken a few days to add back some of the plugin support and extras that i’ve enjoyed with those themes to my original modification of Connections.

This theme has two sidebars, Inward and Outward. for version wordpress 2.0.x, i’ve had to disable the standard blogroll widget. I’ve created a ‘Links List’ widget as a replacement, that is included with this theme.
Validation:
This theme, including the Links List widget, is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and CSS. However, there are a great many plugins and widgets that are not, and additionally, any invalid posts will cause pages to have validation errors.
