Typograph is a standards compliant theme with a JQuery powered tabbed sidebar box and an ad under the first post on the index page.

Designed by Morten Rand-Hendriksen - designer, information philosopher and author based out of Burnaby, BC.
You can change the contents of the tabbed box by editing the tabbedBox.php file located in the Typograph theme directory.
