About two days ago, my WordPress theme started displaying wrong \u2014 and I checked it in three different browsers.<\/p>\n
The main text area was fine, but the sidebar background was dark, making the links unreadable unless you moused over them. My “White on Black” Firefox add-on fixed it,but not everyone has that. (LIght-on-dark text is an abomination online for more than a line or three.)<\/p>\n
So I found a new theme that was somewhat similar to the old. My main criteria were that the links displayed compactly and likewise block quotations in the posts. And the footnotes \u2014 I need to have footnotes.<\/p>\n
