Notes: I’m not going to sugar coat this one, Black Gloss 1.0 was a freaking disaster before I got my hands on it. Not only was is terrible from an SEO standpoint, it was also broken in any version of WordPress over 2.0. It barely worked in Internet Explorer and everything was showing up in the wrong places.

I went through the code and fixed everything that was broken. Now it functions really well in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

The SEO fixes were really needed with this theme. Even though it was and is a right-sidebar theme, the sidebar was placed above the content in the code which is a huge mistake. Google ends up showing the sidebar in their index instead of the post and page content. I fixed that problem and floated the sidebar to the right, spic and span.

This theme was really messed up with it’s Htags. The H1 was set on the post title, which wouldn’t have been that bad if it didn’t have H2 for the time and date of the post. I switched all of that up to put H1 on the blog title and H2 on the post title. I made the time and date H3.

The names of people who comment were set to be H2s as if that would ever line up with a keyword someone searched for. I set those to be paragraphs.

With some major over-hauling, Black Gloss 1.0 now gets my stamp of approval - this theme rocks and should be awesome for Adsense. The black, grey, and white will make blue Adsense links really jump out.
