This theme is a sleek and simple minimalist design for wordpress made to bring the content forward, and everything else out of view. The theme is designed with a focus on typography and effective whitespace, and sports the same single column fixed with design you are looking at right now.
A couple of features have been added for other Wordpress users, like support for gravatars, as well as tags and categories the way most blogs normally use them.
I’m taking great effort to make the theme a little more Wordpress compliant so you still can use it with your normal wordpress plugins and so forth.
As a side note, I work professionally as a php developer and have as such written the theme using a little more php than most Wordpress themes. This means that editing it might be a little difficult if you don’t know php. Don’t panic though, if you take the time to look over the code, you’ll see that it’s in fact pretty simple. It’s just broken up on small reusable pieces instead of being one long page.
I hope you will find it useful. The theme is publiced under the GPL and you can download the theme here: minimal.zip
UPDATE: (August 12th 2008)
I’ve just made a couple of important updates to the theme. First of all I’ve removed my site specific google analytics code, so I wont be spying on other people. Secondly I’ve changed the header so it will show text if no logo.png file is present in the images folder in theme dir. It’s of course much preferable to make a nice logo image, but this way the theme will work out of the box as well.
