Spent a few minutes this evening with @WJacobC fine tuning some of the theme's CSS. We rounded a few corners and edited some of the background colors. Before we knew it we had easily added a new layer of aesthetics to the design. It's always fun making design changes with your super-coder son. The young whippersnapper corrected my syntax more than once.
More edits and upgrades to come for sure, but wanted to take a second to record the update for posterity. I'm considering making some subtle changes to the look and feel of the navigation next. Nothing big, just some color alterations. After that, a shiny new jQuery slider. So far everything is holding up fine in mobile view ... Hats off to the Skeleton crew.
