To get the ratings/views to show as if they are part of the theme I just simply copied the following code from theloop.php:

<?php /* Tags */ if (is_single() and function_exists('UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost')) { ?> <?php _e('Tags:','k2_domain'); ?> <?php UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost("commalist") ?>. <?php } ?>

Pasted it underneath itself and then changed it to do the following:

<?php /* Ratings */ if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { ?> Rating: <?php ob_start(); the_ratings(); $remove_divs = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); echo str_replace('div', 'span', $remove_divs); ?> <?php } ?>

Copied/pasted it again and changed it for the views:

<?php /* Views */ if(function_exists('the_views')) { ?> <?php the_views(); ?> <?php } ?>

Basically, where you can see that it says class="entry-rate" and class="entry-views" I simply opened up the K2 style.css file and copied the entry-tags style, changed it to suit the new images and location. Works a treat.

If you would like me to email you the two files (theloop.php and style.css) I would be more than happy to do so.

I use the K2 Sidebar Modules for my sidebar as it seems to be a hell of a lot easier and nicer looking.

One thing I've done in Unwakeable 2.0 that I notice you've done here is move the ratings and post views up to right under the post title when viewing a single post or page.

I'd like to come up with a clean mimimalistic style for displaying that data but am having trouble. I think I like it how you have it, simple on the white background. Maybe I don't even need to worry about styling it now that I see it would look good simply white.

Are you using sidebar modules from K2 or the WordPress Widgets? Or are you using a static sidebar.php file?

Yep, that would look nice, feel free to steal the tweaks that I made on K2 and implement them into Unwakeable, the category cloud is actually a plugin called Category Tagging, which makes a sexy cloud.

Should work on Unwakeable too. I'm actually building in those sorts of icons into Unwakeable 2.0, which I hope to release by the end of May, but who knows. :)

I like the category cloud a lot compared with a straight list of categories. Might be something I could add an option for in Unwakeable 2.0.

Looks good Bull3t.
