Hacked a ZFeeder theme for WP

Sure thing! Post it on here or send it to me in an email and I will list it as a new WordPress template on my Weblog Tools Collection. Heck I might use it if I like it as much. ??

Okay, I’ve tarred it up and put it on my blog where you can also see it in action. Just look at the bottom of the sidebar to see it working and it can be downloaded via the Downloads category. It still has a couple of problems that I can’t seem to figure out.
1) Don’t know how to change the font color of either sites or news items.
2) Font size gets small quickly and the only way I can currently keep it usable is via <font size=”[number]”></font> which I would like to avoid.
3) Spacing between items is difficult.
I’m guessing that all of this can be fixed with a couple of lines in the CSS template, but I’m not up on CSS yet. Any suggestions on how to do this ‘the right way(tm)’ would be appreciated (The CSS way).
Here is the site

Anyone out there that can point me in the right direction on how to avoid li and ul reducing the font size? I’d like to be able to have the indented list without the fonts getting unreadably small. The issue can be seen at my blog in the Feeds menu item (bottom right).

The problem comes from using relative sizes in the fonts, IE if you specify the font as 80% or .8em then it calculates that size relative to its parent element, so if you have nested elements it becomes 80% of 80%, etc. You can modify your template use font sizes specified in a non-relative unit like pixels to get around this.

Okay, that makes sense. I assume that this would be adjusted in the #menu ul ul li { 70%/115%} block. It seems from my messing around that the 75% is the font scaling and the 115% has something to do with line spacing, but I’m not sure. I’ll need to read up on this.

I got such an error when reading a rss feed:
XML error: xml declaration not at start of external entity at line 4
what’s the meaning?
