Apricot theme for Pelican

Apricot is a centered, fixed width, and simple-looking theme, designed from scratch for my personal blog, Pointless Blog of Apricot.

It's not a fork of any themes, not even a copy-and-pasting, but I might have checked up on the official simple theme, when I couldn't figure how what a attribute is for. I wanted to release this theme in the public domain, so I avoided others' code as best as I can.

You can read this theme's blog and check out the styles.

FAQ

Why is it called "Apricot?"

Note

This is not asked yet, but I foresee some people would have this question.

The name is from the my blog's name, "Pointless Blog of Apricot."

Originally, I was going to name it that, but it really is too long, so I picked the keyword -- or is it? -- "apricot" as the theme's name.

And I am sure you now would ask why "Pointless Blog of Apricot?" You will have to read it on Pointless Blog of Apricot.
