This post has been updated to reflect slightly more correct code..
As I have recently
mentioned, the ‘forces has just been at the sharp end of a code overhaul.
While appearances may be deceiving and the layout may look virtually the same it’s the changes under the hood that are interesting. This is why WordPress is not […]

As mentioned, I’m now running a single the_post loop and it rocks. Asides are working flawlessly and it’s even xhtml transitional compliant. :)

I’ve implemented a new post loop structure, based on the
