# Podcast Site Redesign – I’m Now Using the Leia Theme
[![Tech Writer Voices site](https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/idbwmedia.com/images/twvsite1.jpg)](https://idratherbewriting.com)

Mark Ghosh, who [recently mentioned my site](http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2007/04/24/another-theme-viewer/) on Weblog Tools Collection (thanks Mark), [describes the Leia theme](http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2006/10/03/wp-theme-leia/) as follows:

> Well put together, two column, striking, well structured, featureful theme for Wordpress. Very goth (?) undertones and very cool and different look and feel.

I agree with his description — striking, unique, rich, intriguing, goth (with the original picture anyway).

But here are the following problems I've run into with the code:

- The site didn't fit into a browser window (half inch too big -- had to fix that).

- The light blue "Subscribe to the Podcast" section was missing from the theme files (I had to pull it from the author's live site by grabbing the underlying style tags).

- The comments section under each post kept getting messed up with the inclusion of the Subscribe to Podcast section (not sure how I fixed it -- just wrangled with it enough).

- The links in the header are actually in the sidebar (the sidebar file is odd -- wish it supported widgets, but my guess is no).

- The sidebar content aligns differently in Firefox than IE (still haven't figured out a solution to this one; I'll probably change this section anyway).

- The section at the bottom of the sidebar is still misaligned (need to tweak it).

- Trackbacks don't align perfectly under a post.

- Seems like there's a different div style tag for every element
