Persian Theme for Drupal
Update
I’m starting to think the approach I took in dealing with blocks in this port is not the best way. When I do update this theme (perhaps when Persian 1.2 comes out), I think I will go the way I did with Manji theme.
Persian is a clean design by Chris J. Davis, originally for WordPress 1.3. Its layout consists of only a single column, which, while quite suitable for personal blog site, is not common for Drupal. I have used inspiration from joepilot.net to incorporate Drupal blocks into the design.
I think this will make a nice design for personal blog based on Drupal.
The theme is tested soley on Windows 2000, and seemed to work fine on both Firefox and Internet Explorer
