I went through the entire main directory of free themes (which took forever) and found lots of clever designs but nothing I liked enough to want to use.  Finally I found this old one on another site.</p>
<p>The main drawback is that it&#8217;s in German, and the second drawback is that it&#8217;s a bit kludgy in areas and even then isn&#8217;t quite what I want.  So I&#8217;m going to need to translate it into English (I&#8217;ve started but not finished that, thanks to Google&#8217;s translation tools), as well as fixing the kludginess (I hope I figure out how, because it&#8217;s irritating the crap out of me) and tweaking it until it&#8217;s what I want (I hope I figure out that, too).</p>
<p>And yes the comments link is there, it&#8217;s just barely visible until I figure out which part of the stylesheet influences it (I&#8217;ve never formally learned stylesheets, I just bang on various things until they work, hopefully).  The background used to be a hideous orange color, so I&#8217;ve had to modify all the text colors after I changed the background to white.  (The background may not stay white, but it should stay a color that these text colors are readable on.)</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m doing all of this while being climbed on by an irritable cat who wants something that I can&#8217;t figure out what it is.</p>
