Okay -- http://openhatch.org/blog/ has the new theme. It's automatically
generated from our main OpenHatch site theme.

File bugs and/or make remarks here if there are things you'd want to
change! (And/or I can help you actually make those changes, if desired.)

Note that for now, we're using client-side generation of the CSS behind
the blog via less.js. I'd like to move that to server-side shortly, and
that will speed up page loads.

Note also that if you have an old version of "base.less" cached in your
browser, you'll see the sidebar items as too wide. This is because there's
a CSS rule that makes the sidebar "widget" items look odd:
    .widget { width: 400px; }

This is fixed in the live site, but if your cache is somehow to aggressive,
you'll see that. If it's an ongoing problem for any non-trivial amount
of time, then I can work on busting those caches.

So, if you want to click around and see the new theme, check out these two
pages, since that covers basically all the visual variations I think:

* https://openhatch.org/blog/2012/the-steps-boston-ruby-is-taking-to-become-friendly-to-beginners/

* https://openhatch.org/blog/

Again, feedback/patches/requests/thoughts welcome!

(And thanks to Karen for visually reviewing the style changes!)
