Wow.. It is a small world, I live within 10 miles of colonial lol..
Let me know if you need any help, I had fun making the plugin
\
PS: Most of the coding of the plugin is NOT for the sidebar form. The code that processes the sidebar is a total of like 50 lines at the most, so most of that plugin can be cut out for you.

Awesome theme - thank you! Works perfektly in FF, Chrome, Safari, Safari mobile. Unfortunately, it does not in IE (8+9). What's gone wrong there?

I have release the new version in extend. The fix is below:
The comment at the top of the template file needs to come after the doctype.
Instead of:
Code:
<!--

Theme Adapated From: http://www.html5webtemplates.co.uk/templates/simplestyle_4/index.html
-->
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<!--

-->
Or you can just remove the credits to me entirely and just leave the doctype on top

Now that's what I call a quick, helpful, competent reply. I put the doctype on top, and zoom. Fantastic. Thank you!

Thank you
By the way, In the new version (in extend), I included an additional template file with no sidebar.

Another question: The search option only refers to pages, but not to news; news posts (containing the search term) will not be found. Is there any quick fix?

No quick fix that I know of. You could create a new template for your "Blog" page and put the blog search bar in place of the pages search bar in that template file.
