A Theme for Sash

My first WordPress theme, and I knew exactly who deserved the dedication: Sash from SuicideGirls. I’d been spending more time on her profile than I care to account for, and building something in her aesthetic—grunge-inflected, a little rough at the edges—felt like the honest move. Two-column layout, nothing fancy engineered in; what it becomes depends entirely on whoever installs it. Not a beginner project.

This version still has one known bug: if the sidebar runs longer than the content, the dashed grey line doesn’t reach the footer. I haven’t solved it—whoever figures it out is welcome to post the fix in the comments. One required plugin is PageBar. The header ships with a PSD; customizing it properly means having Monotype Corsiva and the Bill Hicks font installed, or just scrapping it and starting fresh.
