An update for BlogEngine.NET Newspaper theme

Few days ago, I published a Newspaper theme for BlogEngine.NET which can be applied to all BlogEngine.NET versions below 1.4. This update has a support for widgets - a new feature in BlogEngine.NET version 1.4.

This means that Newspaper updated theme is compatible with all existing versions. You can download updated version here.

Nice theme! I used it as a starting point for my blog. Also, a tip... it's a good idea to avoid using pixels for layout in your stylesheet. The preferred way is to use "em" and percentages so the website is "scalable."

Thanks Jarret! Yeah, I could have use "em" sizing for fonts, you are right about that.
Regarding percentages - I just dislike it and prefer fixed-width layout. The reason for this is that I am just not sure how the page will looks like at high resolutions like 1680x1050. Using fixed-width layout I have a full contnrol over its behavior.

I'm trying to use the theme in 1.4, but I keep getting an error that site.master doesn't exist, when it clearly does in the theme directory. Seen this before?

Hmm, strange.. I have no idea what could be a reason. Does build, rebuild or clean solution helps?

Good work. I've used it on my blog but I've changed the WidgetZone using it dinamically

Janko, you say the version is for blogengines below 1.4. So I can't use it with version 1.45? Do you plan to change this? This is a great theme, especially for a news blog. Let me know, I would like to use it.

Edi: yes you can use it with version 1.4.5 (actually 1.4+)

I have modified your theme to create a new one. Hope you don't mind
