Images & Adblock Plus

18 October 2011 by kristarella

Full-width headers in Thesis 1.5

2 April 2009 by kristarella

Update 18 May 2010: Although the title is “in Thesis 1.5” this tutorial is still relevant. I have made a couple of updates since it was first written to accomodate more recent changes in Thesis, but really this tutorial is for Thesis 1.5 and beyond!

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
