As promised, I'm releasing the Straight Edge theme used on this blog under GPL2.
There's a brief README.txt in the zipped archive linked above, but the theme's main features are:
- XHTML compatible (in core theme files)
- Minimal, semantic markup
- No sidebar
- Excerpts on archive and category pages
- Implicit RSS feeds: the only orange icon is in your browser chrome
- Adaptive top navigation
- Separate pages for archives, categorisation and blogrolls
- Next/previous rel links in header
- Support for special pages e.g. blogroll, tag cloud
The todo list includes:
- Implement my Blogthis! plugin, while trying to keep minimalist
- Unobtrusive hiding of elements, using jQuery
- Improve styling
The theme is in a fairly alpha state. The PHP is fairly straightforward, apart from some neat theme functions, but don't blame me if everything goes bang.
