As if our tables weren't complicated enough already, Pixel has given us something all new to consider. They've changed the price on a seasonal item.

This year, the Transylvania theme has lower costs than before, both in materials and in gems. In addition, the XP for a materials purchase now equals the XP for a gems purchase.

With regular Shop items, we'd simply use the "notes" parameter to record the historical data and show that Pixel rebalanced it. We still can do that on the theme's article page, of course. Generally, though, that's not where people look to get information about themes; they tend to go to the Themes page.

For now, I've entered the 2014 information into the table as footnotes. This is cumbersome, it looks ugly, and it doesn't set a good example for future occurrences. The only reason I entered it this way was to record the information on the site while we figure out how we want to present it.

So far, my only idea would be to make that item's area taller. In other words, use  instead of , with the 2014 information in the new rows. That's a bit awkward, though, and what happens if they decide to change the price every year? We'd get one entry that was longer than the rest of the table.

I need help to come up with better ideas on how we're going to handle this. Anyone?
