Corkboard
About
This theme emulates a cork-board adorned with Post-It notes. The arrangement of the posts on the board is somewhat stochastic owing to post length and ordering. Best results will be seen in wide browser windows.
Variant: Dated Posts
Jon Steinberg asked if it would be possible to date stamp the posts. Sure it is.
If you too desire this feature, grab the variant theme file linked above.

Design Note
Turns out you cannot use { block:Post# } blocks within the post blocks (such as { block:Text }). That sucks because it forced me to statically define the float property based on post type rather than post position. It still works this way, but it is less random.

I’ve no idea why this is among my bookmarks. There’s not a subway within a thousand miles of me.
