So I updated the CSS, and created a new theme based off the tutorial theme I spoke of in the last post. Right now it looks like crap, but its a start. I also have sort out a set of colors I want to use as a palette for this site.
I started with a dark red color (#993333) and used a site called Colors on the Web to help create a palette. The image here is a representation of how a set of “live tiles” will look in that palette.

I still have a lot of work to do.
