Valid Theme update, what to do for the sidebar?

I have done some little but needed update on the wordpress theme and the gallery css. I am still split in between Typo design and glossy style design and I’m kind of going for both at the moment.

What I can’t work out is the sidebar. No idea seem to be better than what I have now, and what I have now is rubbish..

Any link or idea for original sidebar design?

Some example from famous blogs:

Styleswitcher styleswitching yoursiteisvalid

I nearly finished my styleswitcher for the gallery. It is basically a css switch coded in both javascript and php that change the CSS (green/black) to an inverted style (orange/white). I particularly like the use of the outline property I was talking about yesterday. A shame it only works for FireFox ^^’

The ressources I’ve used for this:

I think I’m gonna add some font size increase/decrease button to finish the switch. Any other ideas?

Why not add a style switcher to your site?

Smashing Magazine has launched a competition on the style switcher theme. The idea is to get a lot of people to write a style switcher and use it on their site.

The artcile is showing different type of style switcher with a lot of online example to look at.

Dead line: 19/06/2008

Now the question is, do I want to spend my weekend coding instead of playing games? Well, first I am quite interested in style switcher and I wanted to create one for the gallery/blog anyway. Ok you got me Smashing Magazine, I’m in!

Ho by the way we can win a nice 20″ Apple Monitor…
